and i didn't spend a cent on film - i used my trusty digital camera (thus the audio and video). glad you're enjoying the stuff. i could explain some of it in more detail, but that would probably be very very boring. you should go see germany yourself to have the real experience.
I probably should go to Germany sometime, 'cos it's basically just a short hop over the sea for me. My parents lived there for two years before I was born, and I've seen their house, but it was on a one day stop on a loooong drive to Italy. There is a kind of rivalry between us and Germany though...
*reminisces about a 17 hour drive back from Italy in a car with no air conditioning*
