Kangaroo Tastes Like...

That's right ladies and gentleman today for dinner I decided to feast upon kangaroo.. not by choice originally but the first place I happened to find that accepted Visa was this Australian cafe near my hotel and I stumble upon kangaroo steak, which I must say is rather fantastic!  At first I was like thinking about what a kangaroo looks like and how sad it was etc. but then I realized this one was already dead and waiting to be cooked so I jumped on the chance to something new and unique.  Anyway now that that shocking part is over.. it has come to my attention by a dear friend that I am not as detail orientated on this blog as I should be and therefore do not discuss the view point of me while traveling around Europe so today I decided to go sans pictures and just talk about my day, but of course I'll google some pictures for my thoughts.  Let's start with why I woke up really early...

For anyone who doesn't know this is the Jeepers Creepers creature that kills people for their body parts, so it may reuse them, and then eats them.  Ever since I have seen this film I have had a few nightmares about this dude and for some reason one decided to plague me this morning.  I have no idea why I have this nightmare over and over again but I'm in a unknown familiar place and then I feel him, shifting around in the shadows, and then he cuts someone's throat takes their body parts and moves on to someone else to do the same.  I hate this nightmare more than anything because he never attacks me and I just sit there and watch helplessly as he kills off people I love and its really sick and disturbed I might add.  Today I forced myself to go back to bed and I actually defeated him (or some random version of him) but I'm sure he'll be back at some point to plague me once again.





Now let me move on to my observation of Germany.  Germany is probably my new favorite European place to travel to and I'll tell you why, it's because they are a lot like America in the sense that they are modern and it's quite the melting pot of cultures, at least here in Frankfurt.  I can't tell you how tired I am of pizza, pasta, and the like of Italian food (FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T BEEN TO ITALY ITALIAN FOOD IS NOT AMERICAN ITALIAN FOOD).  In Germany I have had German food, Australian food, Irish food and all the worlds most wonderful beers I can possibly fathom, and that is why I love Germany.  It's kind of cool to see that German children were playing their version of red light green light too and that in the Italian train station two little girls were playing Italian "down by the bay."

As of yesterday you've seen all my Germany photos anyway so what did I do today? I RELAXED and went to see Robin Hood! So I have two movie reviews for you as well:

1. Sex and the City 2
Now I never watch this show on television but I really should get the seasons because these women are hilarious!  For whatever reason my inner extra fashion forward self comes out when I watch them and I can't get enough of it.  My favorite would happen to be Kim Cattral's character Samantha Jones who is just too ridiculously funny.  Anyway I thought it was really cool that they went to the Middle East and we got a little bit of a culture lesson along with the hysterics of the movie itself.  Overall if you saw the first movie I think it's beyond necessary to see this one and if you haven't see both!









2. Robin Hood
Russell Crowe is like the sexiest bloodied up hero in the world seriously, maybe only second to Gerard Butler but regardless, his accent is awesome his body is awesome and he just rocks.  I am so glad I saw this too because at first I thought it was going to be just another Robin Hood movie however little did I know this one shows why King John chases after Robin Hood, how he got his name Robin Hood and basically all the pre-Disney movie stuff no one ever bothered to show us.  The war scenes are pretty exciting but aren't as gory as Gladiator in case you were concerned.  Overall I thought it was pretty awesome and a must see if you like films like Gladiator or The Patriot etc.








Anyway that's my day I have to wake up super early tomorrow to catch a plane back to Italy so Ciao!
