New Boxers & Bullshit Fairy Tale Musicians (Bremen, Germany)

Marktplatz

Aug 14^th, 2010 - If you are looking for a shot of adrenaline then Bremen, Germany is probably not the place for you. It is, however, a great location to chill out for a spell. In truth I was drawn here by the opportunity to catch up with someone I met on the other side of the world in Bail, Indonesia. Otherwise, I am not sure Bremen would have been on my radar but such is the capricious hand of Fate.

It is an excellent place to not do much of anything at all. So I went ahead and did not much of anything at all. My chosen form of sloth was sipping coffee in Marktplatz to the tune of accordion/guitar street music while engaging in one of my favorite past-times: people watching. In between my appointments at Starbucks (I justified my visits to this paradigm of American capitalistic globalism by the existence of free wifi) I did manage to do a bit of shopping (it was time for new Underoos) and some aimless cruising on a bicycle through the center of town. Quaint. Relaxing. Rejuvenating. I did not even mind the frequent rain. And then there is the added benefit of having someone cook delicious food for your eating enjoyment. And just in case you're curious my new boxer shorts look fucking great on me. They are made out of wool which means you can wear them for days without the smelly poo poo kaka fragrance. Yes.
