On Friday, we made our first trip to Germany's supposed "American super store" called Real,-. Yes, the comma and dash are necessary. It was so weird, because I felt like I stepped into Meijer or a Target Greatlands because they had everything - produce, office supplies, clothing, furniture, etc. It's been a while since I've been to a one-stop shop, it kind of made me start to miss home
On Saturday, we took a day-trip to the city of Koblenz with 7 of my wonderful co-workers :) We got schoenes wochenende tickets, where basically you pay 37€ for a ticket that can be used for up to 5 people to go anywhere within Germany (on the slower-moving trains, though). So for 7€, I got to spend the afternoon in a new city with good company. The best sight of the city was Deutsches Eck ("German Corner"), which was where the Rhine and Mosel rivers meet:
On Sunday, Mang-Git and I woke up bright and early to go to Gamescom, the world's largest gaming convention, which was conveniently held 1 U-bahn stop away from our apartment. We originally intended to go and play some of the not-yet-release games, meet the guy who does Mario's voice, and get free T-shirts. But even after getting there only 30m after Gamescom opened their doors on Sunday morning, the lines were so ridiculously long that we just ended up walking around to all 4 exhibition rooms collecting free stuff and watching other gamers game. The most worthwhile part was getting our money's worth in free Vodaphones (4 of them, to be exact):
