# Jena.
Far away from everywhere.
1 hour from Leipzig, 2-3 hours from Berlin.
It's east germany. Every other major city is a bit further away.
Hopefully going to Berlin for Christmas shopping, but no idea about when, I've got my final PhD. exam on the 5th, so I can't really think past then at the moment, without my arse falling out.

Edit: Also, the trains in Germany are a bit fucked at the moment. They've discovered technical problems with the tilt-technology of the trains, which means a lot of trains are no longer operable, and the ones that are, go very slowly, late, or not at all.

fuck, my first thought there was: "I don't remember that bit in Napoleon Dynamite"

but, then I stopped being retarded, and remembered that they have a yearly Napoleon parade thingy, where people dress up (accurately) as French soldiers and Jenensers. I'm not really sure what they do afterwards... maybe a fight somewhere. It's a very big occasion though, and quite nice, if you like that kind of thing. Weimar is also nearby, which has a bit of Napoleon influence, the little ubiquitous bugger that he is.
