Hotel rooms - Germany

For some strange reason, I tend to take pictures of all the hotel rooms I've stayed in. These two are from my Germany trip, and there is a massive difference between the two. Here's the first, the one I stayed in for work. This was nice. It may have been the best hotel room I've ever stayed in. It was a resort/spa type place. Unfortunately I was so busy with work, I didn't have time to enjoy any of that. On top of that, it was only 80 euro a night!


And here's the second, I stayed in for the Nurburgring. I think my bed sheet in the second room was made from a fabric that is one step above burlap. It was rough...


Not like it mattered though, I had the autobahn and the Nordschleife to keep me happy! Speaking of, I should put at least one interesting picture in this post. 


Look at this, it's an Audi R8 (race prepped) with a Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera in the background! (Glad I had a small aperture for that picture!) Both just finished a lap on the Nordschleife (I drove that track too!!). So awesome. I could live in Germany, or at least somewhere within driving distance of Germany. Formula 1 teams, I'm waiting on your call.

Second Germany trip...

...was better than the first! The work was harder and more stressful, but the fun was more fun. Which is really all that matters because in the long run, I won't remember much of the troubles of the work, but I'll for sure remember all of the awesomeness that was my Nurburgring weekend!

I'll be posting things from this weekend for a while. At the start of this post, I wasn't sure which thing to post first, but I'm just going to pick a video to start. This is one of a few videos I have, and I'll probably post more of them. Enjoy my terrible German, bad jokes, random movie references, over exaggerations, and sarcasm....I know I did, haha!



I realize that a few things that I say may surprise/offend a few people. I usually try to censor myself around some people to avoid offending anyone, but I was by myself in the car so no need to censor anything. If the video offends you, my apologies; but this is me, and I'm not apologizing for that :) !

Learning keyboard: Ep. 1

The first of many (or the first and last) video of me trying to play keyboard. What I have difficulty with is coming up with other background tracks for a melody. Don't worry, I know I'm not good, just trying to show progress (I've only had the keyboard for 2 months). Hopefully I'll be able to look back on this in a few years and laugh at how bad I was. After all, everything is always more fun when you're able to laugh at yourself.

I'll try to make the future ones shorter so I can upload them to YouTube. I just got carried away with the length of this one. Too much fun!
