Just a quick post - we leave for Frankfurt tomorrow morning, taking the ICE (super-fast) train. We'll do a day or so of sightseeing and then come back for a week with one of Colin's fellow NYU philosophy grad students, followed by a week with one of Naomi's friends from college.
We were introduced to some German hip-hop the other day, and it was... very grammatical. And didn't have much cursing. Weird. One person explained this by saying that the Germans don't romanticize lower-class/street life.
Another observation: for a people who won't sell you peanut butter anywhere except in a novelty section of a department store, the Germans eat a lot of peanuts, in different forms. In the form of peanut-curry ice cream, for instance (pretty tasty, actually) and peanut-flavored puffs (both of which we ate today).
