Europe is having a heat wave

If you know me, you know I love the heat. But the thing is, they're not prepared for it here. Nobody has air conditioning. Fine, I can deal with that. Nobody has fans. Um... Okay... That's not so good. The few places that have fans, they have them pointing in completely the wrong direction. Buildings were not designed to encourage airflow.

I'm at an internet cafe right now, and I'm reminded of Kolkata. Not because it's as hot as Kolkata here, but because it's so much hotter than the funny pink internet cafe we always went to on Sudder Street. They had fans in there and they knew how to use them. They have one fan here. It's sitting in the corner, pointing at no one.

I did some stuff today. It was all very interesting and nice; however, I'm too sweaty and gross to stay in here any longer.

Wiedersagen bitte

I wrote a post yesterday. I think it said 'I am at Stansted airport and I might be dead'; however, the lovelz computer in Stansted aiport ate it. All that survived was 'c'. Zep, 'c'. That was the entiretz of mz post.

Now I'm in Frankfurt.

German kezboards are strange. Thez don't use the letter Y verz much, so thez moved the kez. It's there; it's just not where I expect it to be. Also, somebodz please enlighten me: how does one make an @? Without resorting to copz/paste, I mean.

Not onlz are German kezboards strange, but this one has some charming uniquenes to it. The O kez works onlz some of the time. Other kezs don't work at all. Scrolling kezs, not tzping kezs. But still... Thez're there. Thez're labelled and everzthing, onlz nothing happens when I press them. Fun.

Anzhow... I'm off on a mission to get lost.
