Thanks for the hair comments guys, you are my everyday source of inspiration.
I don't have any photos for you today, but I'm bumming around in Michelles lab so I thought I'd update regardless.
Caught a train to a town called Wiesbaden yesterday, which is apparently the Shelbyville to Mainz's Springfield. Due to my fiercly independant nature (aka hopelessly disorganised) I breezed past the tourist information counter as usual and decided to explore on my own.
I have a rough system of walking 3 or 4 blocks in one direction, then turning left and going 6 or 7 and so on. Fortunately the town is laid out like a little German Canberra so I couldnt get very lost.
The place actually looked like San Francisco (from what I've learned playing Grand Theft Auto) with lots of orderly elevation changes lined with identical old houses. The main shopping zone was huuuggee, and jam packed with designer sneakers and the European equivilent of David Jones.
Speaking of sneakers, I think I'm going to cop some new ones. Maybe some kind of Cross Trainer/Evo driver shoes. My DC's look fabulous, but they really give your feet a caining after a while. I havent met any guys at Footlocker that speak english yet, but they all speak Hip-Hop and Ive compiled a repotoire of shoe related Jay-Z lyrics that should see me through.
Last night we went to an Irish Pub called the Porter-House for a trivia night with some more biologists, a lawyer, and a couple of randoms. Our team, "Vas Ist Los?" came second, and won 20 euros off our bar tab. The cheating was rampant, Im talking mobile phone Wikipedia here. I had an Apple Cider and some Wokas, and spent most of the night discussing the lack of decent cars in Germany with Alix. He told me he wants to come to Australia and buy an R33. I told him I know just the fella...
Tonight we're having dinner with a Canadian guy called Hugh, and tomorrow I might go to Frankfurt for a laugh.
Oh, and apparently there are no arcades in Germany. Thats probably why you never see them smiling.

worst comes to worst he cut off his hair for a wig for money
Maxe more than likely will start the world's first "Hair for Sneakers" exchange program

Please, Jay-Z is to hip-hop what Michael Jackson is to childcare.
Maybe once they see your hair, they'll figure you're homeless, or the product of a lab experiment and offer you some free steps.
Enjoying the read : )
