mainz oder dusseldorf??

yay! i'm so excited right now! i guess i do get excited about some things. i just finished skyping with my freunde, imke, who is german but lives in belgium now. we have decided we are going to meet in western germany not this coming weekend but the one after since we haven't seen each other since.... hmmm.... probably since i went to budapest 3.5 years ago to see her?? wow. it cant be that long. maybe. wow.

anyway, we were going to go to mainz, near frankfurt, which is in the rhine valley where there are lots of castles, but it might be cheaper and faster to go to dusseldorf, near cologne (where i have been with whitnee many years ago). we are going to each think about it tonight. i think i am mostly indifferent, although mainz does have 6 pages in my germany eyewitness guide. dusseldorf only has 2... BUT i am unemployed, so cheaper may be better... i guess i dont really care. what do you think?? either way - i'm pretty sure i'm traveling first class train, baby!

it was funny talking to imke, i told her my tragic story of being in german 1 for the FOURTH time and she said "oh, na dann ist es kein Wunder, dass es langweilig ist." i said, "what? you think i'm a wonderkid?" that is apparently not at all what she said. i need to learn study more.

so, while i am off dreaming of one day sprechen deutsch, tips? suggestions on where to go? if not, i may have to leave it up to imke since i'm a taurean and therefore indecisive.
