I have spent the last two lazy blogless weeks mostly reading and writing about the political developments (what a world we're living in!), and recovering from my Costa Rica vacation. After a solid chunk of time packing (for the trip and the eventual move-out), I flew to Munich on 22nd (yes, on the day of the attack, and yes I am afraid that the Bavarians are going to kick me out for bringing bad luck after another attack in a nearby town), met Y. in Nuremberg, nearly talked her to death. I was so excited to see her that I forgot the number of beers we drank together, passed out from exhaustion in train and had no memory of how we got off in the tiny town of Vilseck - a cute Bavarian village that also happens to be the location of an American military base and consequentially, the home to best friend for the past 2 years. I only meant to stay in Vilseck for a couple days, but I missed Y. so much that I didn't want to do anything else besides being around her. And her bed was so comfortable. And she made me breakfast EVERY morning, even when she was hangover. And she let me watch episode upon episode of the most horribly entertaining TV show ever. And then she took me to the best Chinese restaurant I've ever been to - then feed me more with fresh salads with homemade dressing as we watched the Somm, drank more wine and then she decided to become a master sommelier. And she took me to the Commissary on base where they had every American food you could wish for and bought me souvenirs! And she signed me in to the base every night, without any hint of complaint:)) and I got to experience the life of the military folk. Hands down, she was the most hospitable, welcoming, and giving person I have to imagine, and I am not saying that because she's my best friend :D
We still don't know if my parents will be able to come and meet me here, but I'll stick around until then. The hotel I'm staying in is quite nice, and people are so friendly that I am actually happy with this arrangement. I plan to find a post office and explore this town today, and maybe take a trip to Nuremberg tomorrow -and perhaps by Thursday morning mom and Schubert will get the clearance to travel abroad? Ugh. I was so excited about this trip, but the recent developments left me with no desire to do anything, let alone the touristy stuff. And dad won't probably be able to make it, and Dr. B. won't let me go back to Turkey even for a weekend, so it's just depressing. The country DOES give me a massive heartache. I want to make the most of my days here in Germany but I can't seem to shake off the guilt and sadness either.
