I've got a Sinking Feeling...

Yeah yeah, I should stop the puns. But seriously this sucks, my sink not only became completely clogged but the clog is past the pvc piping in the wall. Some of you may wonder how I found this out and in that case you don't know me too well. Having found out it would take nearly two weeks to have someone fix it I of course decided to take it apart and fix it myself. Unfortunately I am not cut out to be a plumber as one of the PVC pipe connections shattered when I released it. Perhaps it was cemented? Either way I now have a sink that doesn't drain how it should but is very good at flooding my kitchen.On the bright side I haven't done check in yet and I spoke to the German in charge of check in and it's going to be fixed for free. Until then my sink is held together with packaging tape and dreams.

(It's actually worse then this picture makes it seem...)















ADVENTUIRE TIME!

On the bright side I did have a small adventure last night with Moakes and Nick. Moakes came to my room at 9 ringing my doorbell and informing me of exactly how bored he was, my initial and overly lazy response was that I didn't know what I could do to help. He mentioned he might go for a walk and after a while I decided there was still some area to explore in this city.

While walking we decided to enjoy our right to public drinking while on the streets and each grabbed a beer as we set off with no particular destination. Since Moakes hadn't seen the Red Light district we had to give him the walking tour, which ended with us finding a nearly hidden back alley painted bright green that led to a section none of us had realized existed. To be fair none of us has ever actually spent more then 2 minutes walking through but we were still surprised that we hadn't noticed a bright hallway before.

Having shown Moakes the street we walked around looking for interesting bars for the weekend and we ran into a very strange possible Italian man. The man was beyond belligerently drunk and may have been threatening us though I'm not sure why or what with, so we continued our walk. He followed us for a few minutes before we randomly lost him outside a construction site. Having lost our unwanted follower we walked around and I took the side picture here of flower with a statue in the back, unfortunately it was too dark for me to be able to turn my flash off so this will have to do until I pass the area in daylight.Having explored enough for the day we turned back and once again bumped into our belligerent friend, we couldn't believe that we had managed to run itno him considering the zig-zag filled route we had taken but we simply waited for him to stumble past our street before we headed to the tram.

Random Fact for the Day: I want to get some plants and maybe a fish for my room. I'm tired of looking at white walls and nothing else...
