I sure hope I don't starve.

So far Berlin has been absolutely wonderful but as time passes on I'm beginning to see some major flaws in my plan. The biggest of them all is the food situation.

I went to the grocery store, Lidl, with Perry the other day and let's just say it was interesting. First of all, the Germans put breaks on their grocery carts so in order to use one you have to put 1 euro into this slit in the basket for the break to release. That doesn't sound hard. right? well, needless to say its not that easy and Perry and I got yelled at by the grocery store employee when we asked for help.

To make matters worse, here we are in the middle of a German grocery store with words we don't know and brnads we've never heard of. So we purchased a few necesitties and got out of their as fast as we could. When I got home I decided to take a look around the kitchen to see where exactly I'll be cooking all of my meals. I see the small oven, the mini-fridge, the toaster, the stove. But where's the microwave? I look and I look and I look. and STILL NO MICROWAVE!! So now I can't even use leftovers as a meal. What am I going to do!?
