I was south, close to Munich, about 60km from the Czech border. If I got up that way, I would either go to Kassel or Bonn. The wall was up, so Bonn was the place. When I could get there, I would head on up to Amsterdam. That was usually a really good time. I got stories, but I don't want to hijack the thread.

i had to go to amsterdam to get my papers
now most of you wont know this, but im a country bumpkin, and on top of that, back in the day, i was a bonafide metal head
i would steer away from amsterdam, any chance i got (in fact, if i never got north of the rivers, id be hust fine)

but like i said, the consulate was in amsterdam so i had no choice but to go there, and without fail, i mean every single time, i would get approached about drugs on the street
and the worst part was, they never asked if i wanted to buy, they always wanted to know if i had something to sell

while you were down there, did you have something called "frikandellen"?
(trying to steer back on topic here)

not even sure what it is, a deepfried sausage of a mixture of meat, pork chicken and horse im sure
especially great when served "special" with mayonaise, onions and "curry" sauce (im sure you know it if you were stationed in Germany)

that got me thinking
there used to place in town here (it went belly up a decade or so ago) that served "balkenbrij"
you dont wanna know what went in there
pretty much the stuff that was left after you made hot dogs

now that was an acquired taste
