Der Initial Take

Though the wake up caused by the bump on the runway in Frankfurt may have spurred some intial unhappiness, it disappeared so fast that I can hardly remember it. On my home continent, I never pick a camera and don't appreciate others pointing one at me, but the first thing I do when on another continent is pick up my camera and snap a low-quality picture out of a window. Oh well. The first things I noticed were that everything was written in German (duh :) ), that they have cool liscense plates, and everyone has cool, small, sleek cars. The streets are rather small in places so cars have to to offset from each other parked on either side. It kind of makes for a checkboard street. Sorry KR, I'm for Germany, not the Netherlands. Here are some first-time-in-the-country pics.
