The one with the better place

Elder Gill: Where are you going to be this weekend


Elder Tilgner: In a better place!





yeah he really said that lol





SO Thursday night megan and I left from Wien Westbahnhof our train was scheduled to leave at 9 but we left at ten....after serveral hours of trying to sleep in a chair but when we got to Praha...prague? 3 people got off and then we could lay out because as the berliner next to us said "lets spread out and pretend were asleep so people wont come in" which actually worked because not as many people continue on to Dresden after Prague. So a few hours later...still in the Czeck....spell check?....we heard this loud noise. What we heard was the wires above the train snapping and then hitting something loose on the track. Five hours later they made us go to the other side of the tracks to get on another train. We finally got to Dresden and luckily a train to Leipzig which was the goal, so we got to Leipzig at 1 pm instead of 7 am. First thing we did was buy our tickets and honestly this experience already made us like Leipzig better than Vienna because the ticket people were so much nicer to us and worked had to get us the cheapest tickests possible. The people at Sudbahnhof we recognise because we hate them so much...they're mean and make us feel dumb. Ok but tickets home out of the way we decided to get some good old Burger King because thats why you go to germany...Megan did spice it up by getting a chili cheese burger and a chicken nugget burger both seemed rather interesting. Then we went around the Bahnhof since it is 3 stories and has over 140 resturants and stores....yeah its huge total conundrum as to why. After we wandered for a bit we went outside in order to find this supposedly really good ice cream-but we only knew the street name and there is like 5 eis places on every street so we picked the one with the crowd and let me tell you it was amazing best eis we've had yet. Um so then we walked around finding like the major churches and the old and new rathaus...searched for a suvineer shop-took forever this place is sooo untouristy. Ok well a ton more amazing stuff happened but I just don't feel like writing about it right now

My Birthday was pretty chill we helped my host mom move and then just hung out so really different but fun. this weekend were just hanging around but next weekend we are going to Budapest!! soooooexcited
