SNOW in the forecast

That's right...it's going to snow. It's actually been slushing since I got home an hour ago....but the slush is getting thicker every minute. I am so excited!!!! The forecast is for the next few days snow at 500 meters and up, and we are at 850!!! MUHUHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! I cant wait...when it comes, I will take lots of pictures and post them asap!!!! Ok, and I am probably going to go see Harry Potter 4 tomorrow after school!!! In BASEL!!! There is a bigger kino there (theatre), and they are showing it in English with German and French subtitles (I know I know i should see it in German, but its HARRY POTTER!!!! And I want to understand all, and recognize the voices....muhuhauhau!!!)

And here's for my analysis of German things:

They eat a lot of bread. And most is really good. mmmmm. Lunch is the main meal, like dinner in the USA. When everyone is home, everyone eats together and the table is set and all food on the table. They dont really use napkins here. And milk is mostly drank only at breakfast...warm almost always. They think its weird that I drink milk cold. Well its actually hard for me to drink the milk...i hate to say it but i just think its sooooo grosse and it leaves THE worst taste in my mouth. Comes from the cows down the street (haha that sounds funny), but even the store stuff has the taste. The eat lost of cold meets with bread, at breakfast and for a ''sandwhich.'' Like meet for a sandwhich (which is always bought at the market by the kg...never prepackaged...and a lot of time just a big chunk of salmai or fleischkäse (some weird german meat...i think it might be processed and have cheese in it), and then cut it with the meet cutter my family has, as they also do with backery purchased loaves of bread. And they always sepparate the slices of meet with a knife...not your fingers. There is always chocolate around, and 5 days out of the week there is some sort of dessert,....whether is be some german cake or something (anyone ever had the Schwarzwald Kirshe Torte? Black Forest Cake? Ive had it twice so far and I like to call it slightly-sweetened-not-so-chocolatey-SCHNAPPS-cake. It's got A LOT of alcohol in it. wow), or pudding, or a French pastry...pain au chocolat or whatever...theres always something. And over half the milk chocolate and a good portion of the dark chocolate here has hazelnutts in it. Seiously---germany is chocolate, hazelnutts, and beer. there you go, thats Germany. hehehe Then there is Nutella...which is a chocolate hazelnutt cream like peanut butter thats sooooo good!! And they eat it with breakfast...its on the table every morning with the assortment of jams and jellies, honey, butter, etc. Always a lot to eat with your bread. In my case toast. I love toast. with nutella and honey. oh i love it. The toilets flush really loud. Theres a big button you push either on the toilet or on the wall, rather than a little lever to push down. And they use a lot of water. 95% of the windows dont have screens. And they open like doors...all of them. Thats how your circulate air. They have handles that you push down on. And the handles on doors are all the same...no door knobs (it seriously just took me about 30 seconds to think of the word knob...i guess i forgot it...i was wondering if their was a word for the handle that is round and you turn in a circle....) , just handles. And there is no carpet in most homes etc. Hard floors always. They dont put their sandwhiches in bags most of the time. 75% of the time its in a plastic box that clasps and is made for bread size things. Majority of the cars are hatchbacks...they are EVERYWHERE. and they drive really fast. TV is bigger here than internet. At least in this family. BEER. Rothaus. that is Schwarzwald beer. I see more rothaus advertisements and smei trucks than most things here. Kebab...Indian taco-style food with kebab meet and lettuce and sauce. Ive had one so far...VERY VERY VERY GOOD. They dont use the oven that much, most just the frying pan. they eat with the fork in the left hand and knife in the right and scoop food with the knife to the fork. elbows on the table isnt that big of a deal. The mother always cooks the meal...men are more superior. everyone has a cell phone...everyone. (but me). Discoes (as in a dance club, they say disco here) and parties are more popular than chillin out with friends at someones house or going to little shows at the local cafe. Allemanische....the dialect in this area. Completely different from high german...waaayyy different. very similar to the swiss german dialect, which is written as Schwyzer-Dütsch. Like the days of the week in dialekt are completely different from the high german version. Arbitur...big test german secondary students take in the spring of their 13th grade. really big deal...they have stickers on their cars that say ''ABI '06'' Like we have class of 2005 etc. Big deal. well i think thats all i can think of for now. its geting closer to snow too!! ok gotta go...tschüs
