Welcome to Doichland (phoenetically correct)

So we finished up our UK tour last night with The Ghost Of A Thousand and We Are The Ocean. The tour was a great experience, we learned a lot and got to see how kids react to bands out here. We will miss The Ghost Of A Thousand a lot and we will see We Are The Ocean in a couple days in Paris, on a boat, yep the venue is on a boat in Paris, count it. We've been getting "cultured" aka getting into the swing of things over here buying food at supermarkets, eating McDonald's frequently, and trying candy bars and other junk food we've never heard of. They don't have sour patch kids here, they have gummies called Maynards, Quavers rule (they're like bigger puffed cheetos with more of a light cheese flavor), and millions are small chewy strawberry things the size of nerds. On other interesting notes they don't call periods used for punctuation periods, they call them full-stops. They don't call sidewalks sidewalks they refer to them as pavement, which is kind of amusing because the sidewalk and the road are made of the same material, so one could justify walking in the middle of the road by saying that it is the pavement as well. If there are zig-zag lines in defining the lanes of a road then its fair game to hit pedestrians because if the line is zig-zagged then they shouldnt be crossing there and it is their fault if they get hit. That's a good summation of our new cultured knowledge. More to come definitely because we just got to Germany, Paris tomorrow, the Netherlands after that, then continuing to make the rounds for another week and a half.
Yours truly,

PS: In England the last letter of the alphabet is not pronounced "Z" but in fact it is pronounced "Zed". Weird I know, apparently some parents who don't know who Jay-Z is call him Jay-Zed. Woof.

PPS: I'm sitting at the venue in Trier, Germany. Its a teen center type of deal with kids of all ages hanging out playing soccer, cards, and other games. Seems kind of like a day camp for kids while their parents are at work, most of the kids we're pretty young though. Its a little bit eerie walking around and knowing that 60-70 years ago it was a place used to raise Hitler's youth in training.
