Weather Update: Still Raining

So I've pretty much written off November as the crappiest month ever.  I think it's rained all but one day this month so far.  Today, however, has the added bonus of being just a smidge above freezing which makes it that much more unpleasant.  But enough about how das Wetter ist schiesse.

A couple of things to mention today.  So there are little personal street vendor people here all over the place.  They have these contraptions where they strap a portable grill to themselves...well here's a picture.

It's sort of awesome because they always seem to appear right when I'm really hungry and it's like 1.50 Euro for a wurst.

Well in addition to these dudes there are all these random little stands that make fresh OJ.  I've never bought any, but my new flatmate has a juicer thinger and I went to the supermarket and bought a bag of oranges and just made some fresh OJ.  WHOA is it good.  Definitely the highlight of my day so far.

Additionally today, I want to give a shout out to Mr. Marco Martinez because he is the first confirmed visitor I will have.  He's coming in March all the way from Singapore.  So you other fools best get to planning your trips!

Lastly, on my walk back from school today, while the bitter wind was cutting through my jeans (currently the warmest pants I have here) that it's okay if I "thicken up a little."  I need the added warmth.  So watch out Weihnachtsmarkt  (Christmas Markets), here I come and I've got a BIG appetite!  But seriously, Germans take Christmas real serious.  They celebrate basically for the entire month of December getting presents on December 6th and the 24th!  Totally win for kids in Germany.  Here's a website about it in English.
