Hey Rob, I'll do my best with the ladies. Honestly, it's a little cold so they don't tend to be out too much. Just fat kids with no car like me...
I'll keep an eye out for hot chicks with car though. I'll be at a few indoor events I am sure.
As for the sentiment, I haven't felt anything off yet. Typical looks though when I open my big fat mouth and speak English. I do my best with the High German I know, but that isn't what they use here either. I'll pick it up though.
I'm toying with the Idea of getting on the train tomorrow or Thursday and working my way toward England.
