Day 2

I found the grocery store! If you follow the people with empty canvas bags, they'll lead you right to it! I bought some stuff included cheese, meat, and bread for sandwiched. I made a sandwich! Then I felt funny. Then I felt more funny. I hadn't thrown up in over 10 years . . . Here's a picture of die böse Käse (that means evil cheese)

I think I'll stay away from cheese for awhile. So far none of my eating experiences have been any fun at all.

I've been emailing the Lady from the MIT Germany office telling her that I am here and asking her what I should do. I think she thinks I sound lonely, so she asks for my number and calls her brother and asks him to show me around. He's a nice man. We go out to the triplepoint where Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium all touch. It's way up in a mountain. Here I am:

Then we visit this ridiculous looking Hospital. I am unsure when it was built, but it looks a lot like an oil refinery, and apparently none of the old people really want to go there. You should see the inside. That looks like a subway station.

After that we walked around Aachen and he showed me where the best stores and restaurants and hang out places were. Aachen is a surprisingly walkable city. I think it's only surprising because when I look at a map I can't tell how far everything is from everything else because I can't convert meters to feet in my head . . .

Went home and again couldn't sleep until 5.
