Allergies and Nostril Tampons

My allergies are so insane right now. I wish I had brought the flonase but now there isn't enough time to use it before I leave Bavaria, the land of grassy mountains.

It's interesting to see just how much snot my nose can make. The right Nostril makes about twice as much. I probably used 100 Kleenex and mixed Claritan and Zyrtec with no success.

Then out if desperation I looked in the medicine cabinet at the place we are staying and see tampons. I decided to try a tampon and it worked lol. At least for a bit I can sit and watch TV without constantly dripping.

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.
