Sights and sounds of Dresden

So due to the ash-cloud of doom which has europe by the bag right now, I was able to accompany a bunch of the staff on a road trip to Germany this weekend. They were originally supposed to go to Scotland (which I definitely was not budgeted for), and so when that whole plan got ash canned *budum-ching*, I got invited along!

Germany is so nice. Alot less of the eastern european, Stalin-esque architecture everywhere which can be kind of a bummer. Its a country with all of its ducks in a line, ya know? I can honestly say I have never felt safer in a city; Calgary at night is like Baghdad compared to Dresden. And the trains are actually soothing they are so nice! Being on the euro, things were a fair bit more expensive, but like all sly travelers, I can sniff out the deals with the best of them, so it wasnt too bad. Dresdin was blown to smithereens one bleak Valentines day, and they recycled all the stones when they rebuilt it. So its pockmarked back and white everywhere you look. The food was also great; from now on I am eating nothing but fine salami and cheese for breakfast. Last but not least, the German nightlife is also completely worth the visit. I havent had that much fun at a club since the Night Gallery shut their doors!

PS. If anyone can identify the AMAZING trashy electro track in the club video for me, I would greatly appreciate it!
