No, really, I'm serious. The Germans are REALLY into having their fairs. In addition to all the Christmas markets, they also have the Hamburg Dom going on. It's a gigantic fair, complete with lights and rides, that they set up a couple times a year. Last night, on my way home from an errand (at, um, WalMart... sorry), since it was practically next door, I stopped off for a waffle. A nice, fresh, warm waffle with powdered sugar.
It's good to get things like waffles into my diet, I think. Since I take most of my meals at the school cafeteria I end up pretty much subsisting on little more than cucumbers and potatoes (and the occasional schnitzel, which they do make well) due to the often mysterious and/or unappetizing quality of the other offerings. They do TRY, the cafeteria ladies are very nice, and it's generally cheaper to eat lunch at school here than at BU, but good intentions sadly don't always convert into good food.

Just as a sidenote: I wonder if WalMart has the same sort of management over in Germany as in the US (not that they necessarily would stop me from shopping at either). At least here, I feel much happier going to McDonalds than I would going to McD's in the US - it just seems the quality of the burgers is slightly better. It might have to do with the culinary tastes of the population, but I don't know.
