Germany, day 2: The Internet Cometh

Yes, it's a sad day indeed when the highlight is that I have Internet, but such is the case. As it turns out, the network had a hidden SSID, though I knew from the informational binder in our room. The WEP key was on a bulletin board somewhere downstairs, which the professor found, and now there is Internet. Yay!

We went shopping in the mall today, mostly to get food from the grocery store downstairs. I discovered that a large Ritter Sport cost a bit over 2 Euro, and bought it. (I had not originally intended to buy anything.)

This evening we were going to have a group dinner, but we could not find a restaurant to seat 17 (13 students, the professor, his wife, and his two boys). Therefore, we split into groups, resolving to have our group meal on Sunday night. My group of 5 went to a Pizza Pazza, an Italian pizza and pasta place that advertized itself as serving the pizza with a hole. Indeed, there was such a hole in the middle of the pizza, and it was good. I had a vegetarian pizza and Beck's from tap, which reminded me somewhat of Vegemite.

While walking about in Bremen, we would chance upon what seemed to be bachelor and bachelorette parties, no doubt related. They were very noisy and may be the source of a great many bottle caps on the stairs of the foot bridge.
