Giant Hogweed in Leipzig Botanic Gardens

It says on the red sign in German that it's dangerous to touch but it's right in the path.

Seems dangerous.

Here is the giant Hogweed wiki article

In Leipzig

Finally got to Leipzig. It seems like a really cool city. The downtown is amazing. Everything is old and at the same time interspersed with very new high end malls, stores, restaurants and shops.

We saw the church where the revolution that over through the DDR went down. Apparently, the people protested there and the government sent in the police to break it up back in 1989. When the police got there, they joined in the protest which was the beginning of the end.

Sometimes It makes me sad. This side of Germany is so Americanized now.

For example, there are more McDonalds, Burger Kings, KFCs and Pizza Huts here than at home.

Now you can experience the DDR presence at the DDR store at the mall. It's such a ridiculous statement that such a store exists. It's as if even that can be capitalized and commerciazed.

A Night On The Town

We hung out with Yvonne and family in the city. First we hit up a restaurant with street patio and I had the grossest drink. It tasted like a tropical punch little hug. I seriously though I was going to throw up. Switched to water.

Next bar was an Irish pub with soccer in every channel. I tried beer to fit in. It makes me do allergic so I ended up back in red wine which suits me best.

Then Yvonne, Tanja and I headed out to get burritos. When I got back (e:joe) had made like 10 friends.

Then we headed over to the club next door and danced for a bit before heading home. I'm ready for some warmer weather.

Captain and Coke Donuts and Cans

Here you can get Captain and Coke in a can. I've even seen them in vending machines.

Apparently, there are also Captain and Coke Donuts. At this donut shop at the mall, they had both. (e:mike) would have enjoyed it.

Cappucino Makers At Medianmarkt

They have a store here kind if like Best Buy but it sells even more stuff. It's called Medianmarkt

The thing that struck me was the cappucino markers. They even had one you could control with you cellphone from bed or work so that your coffee was ready when you get there.

I can't believe how much some of them cost. These prices are in euros which is more than a dollar.

Dänemark

We went to the beach in Denmark for the afternoon. For some reason Denmark is well known for soft ice cream and what appears to be the same as American hot dogs but what are called Danish hotdogs. Yvonne assured me they were not the same thing but taste buds seemed to not agree.

So many jellyfish were in the water. We tried to rescue some that washed up in the beach but I think they might have been already dead.

I personally think the illuminati got them.

Day With Yvonne And Lamont

Had an awesome day seeing one of my favorite people after 15 years. The last time I lived here in Flensburg was 20 years ago when we met.

Was also great to meet Yvonne's partner Lamont. For dinner we tried Indian food buffet. She hadn't had Indian before but is traveling to Sri Lanka soon and we thought it might be similar?

Tomorrow night we hit up maybe Denmark and then the bars.
