@germanpickle Which Poptarts did you want?

LetsGoToDisney · April 2014

I am getting organized for Germany. What were the Poptarts you wanted (I can't remember that thread and that PM isn't in my inbox)? I'll be there in 3 weeks.

You should edit the thread title

You should try the peanut butter ones

germanpickle · April 2014

You are soooooo sweet!!!! But I'm actually having some nasty digestive issues that make it nearly impossible for me to eat HFCS and almost all types of sugar

So PLEASE save the space in your suitcase

However, it still would be lovely to meet you.

Also @catieg lives in Germany and VERY nicely offered to grab stuff from the army base if possible, so I'm hooked up

Maybe we could all three get together for a coffee?

Thebump -- awesome shit, peps.

Come on over! How far is Mannheim/Heidelberg for you?

TXswissmiss · April 2014

Okay maybe it's a little further than I thought

But not a bad train probably in the summer!

muffyvonmuff · April 2014

@TXswissmiss‌ I studied abroad in Vitznau, love the Swiss!

TXswissmiss · April 2014

@has615 what a beautiful area! Closest I have been over there is to Lucerne. I must say, though, that I prefer the French Swiss food

...and language ! hehe

When/how long were you there??? How fun!

germanpickle · April 2014

eh, I was offered a job in France but I was like, nope - those people have all sorts of useless letters in their words. I dated a guy from the French speaking part of Switzerland and he must have tried 15 times to teach me how to say the word "what" in French. Fucking accent.

TXswissmiss · April 2014

HAHAHHAHAH that's how I feel every time we are looking at a menu over on the other side and all the words are a mile long and I only recognize and can say schnitzel !

I've also got "genau" in my arsenal and try to just say it to sound cool. *whips hair over shoulder dramatically yet nonchalantly*

DH gets mad bc people can pin him as American pretty damn quick (mean to put that french R in hello AND thank you!) but it takes them longer to figure me out
;;)

I just hope this french Swiss man taught you, "ca va ou bien?!!?"

ETA: there is an n in schnitzel?

CatieG · April 2014

I'm down for meeting more bumpies in Germany!

@TXswissmiss‌ -- I double checked but for some odd reason I knew exactly what "ca va ou bien" means. Surely my French teacher (in Germany) never taught me that?! LOL I will be muttering this phrase under my breath whenever I am pissed off from now on

TXswissmiss · April 2014

@CatieG‌ where are you in Germany?

CatieG · April 2014

Near Ansbach (hour west of Nürnberg). Even further than germanpickle LOL

It was in '06 for a few months we were between Switzerland and Italy. Then DH met me in Paris for a little romp around Europe and England. Vitznau was beautiful and Lucerne was the city we would go to on the weekends to hit up the clubs. I want to go back and visit.

Yes that one is lovely but I like the smaller ones better.

I've been here over 11 years and have no connection to the military. Thus no access to pop tarts

.....and then I realize this isn't aimed at me

CatieG · April 2014

It is great! Biggest I've ever seen and the Nürnberger sausages are so incredibly good!

We just moved back right before Beau was born. DH is in the Army so we'll be here about 3 years.

TXswissmiss · April 2014

@germanpickle‌ we love the smaller Xmas markets as well but have only explored the french ones - hope to make it to the German ones this year! Any suggestions??

@CatieG‌ welcome back to the cool continent !

DH and I still talk about the amazing sausages in Strasbourg - German influence...! Lol

The pampers we get for DS are made in Germany?!? Ok now I'm grasping at straws....

germanpickle · April 2014

Here's a great overview in English

We were really surprised by how nice Karlsruhe's was and of course Heidelberg and Bad Wimpfen.
