About your doppelgänger story: it’s wack that happened to you because the same thing happened to me in college; same name, same birthdate, we worked in the same field, we used the same post office and ordered passports around the same time, and apparently???? We look so similar that when I went to the dentist, I spent a hour with the entire office assuming I was the other person because the dentist I saw had been seeing the other one for her teeth for FIVE WHOLE YEARS AND DIDN’T EXPECT A THING.
At that point you just have to kill the other one and become the alpha
Monschau Germany
Monschau is a small historical town located in the hills of the North Eifel in North Rhine-Westphalia (German: Nordrhein-Westfalen) in Germany,
situated just 4 km across the Belgian border. The picturesque old town
center has many preserved 300 years old half-timbered houses along the
river Rur.

this is so funny
"He gave me my mail and said 'Are you expecting anything from Germany?' and I said 'I might be - we've got friends over there'," said Mr Biggs.
"He said 'Have a look at this letter' - so I had a look and turned it over and our friends' address was on the back of it and on the front it just said England."
Mr Biggs said the card had been sent from a sorting office in Germany close to Gloucester's twin town of Trier and had not been opened.
"I said 'How on earth did you know it was for me?' and he said 'I didn't, I've been wandering around with this', said Mr Biggs.
"My wife and I are absolutely shocked but this puts posties at five or six stars and top of the tree for me this Christmas."
The card, it is believed, may have originally been addressed correctly and so was sent to the right area of England - but with an address label that fell off at some point.
A Royal Mail spokesman said: "Royal Mail's team of 'address detectives' are renowned for their ability to ensure poorly addressed items of mail reach their intended recipients however, even by their standards, this is pretty impressive."
the royal mail detectives are a weird bunch, and like if it was addressed right it would get right but i love the idea they went "well it's from Trier so send it to the twinned town first"

Every time I read up on why Walmart failed in Germany again I am massively entertained.
I can recommend it to everyone.
Google “Why Walmart failed in Germany”.
Hours of entertainment.
this is literally the most hilarious thing ever
seriously what even
i’m laughing so fucking hard ‘harassed by strangers’ i can’t stop laughing
i’m reading a 30 page paper on this and it’s hilarious
(in case you’re curious: https://thetimchannel.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/w024.pdf)
this is still so fucking funny, I can’t get over this. never.
My favorite part was how walmart did that thing where they get a bunch of people to work a long part time shift, but just short enough to not be full time, thinking they could avoid giving employees healthcare. It turns out you can’t do that in Germany, so they had to give healthcare to way more employees than if they had just hired people to full time positions.
This delicate tiny carving of a water bird was created c. 33,000 years ago.
Thought to be a diver, cormorant, or duck, the figure is from beak to tail 4.7 cm long.
The sculpted piece of mammoth ivory, found in Hohle Fels cave in Germany, may be the earliest representation of a bird.
The quest for knowledge gets really frustrating when what you want to learn about is such a niche topic that like only 2 fucking people in the world actually have information on it like do you know how many fucking people I had to email to get my hands on papers about hot subdwarf stars I fucking,, Skyped people in GERMANY just to have them explain to me how they came to some frankly ludicrous conclusions about submass white dwarf supernovae and how the fuck they think it ties into hot subdwarf binary systems and how I had to compare data that they had to the data that some other dude from North Carolina had from some data sets from NASA’s swift satellite oh my god anyway moral of the story is don’t let anything stand in your way in your quest to Know Shit
Today’s crystal haul: Moldavite, Opalite, Green Calcite, Green Aventurine, Blue Quartz Geode, Aqua Marine, Peacock Ore, and Bismuth.
Fun fact: Moldavite was formed by a meteorite impact in southern Germany (Nördlinger Ries Crater) that occurred about 15 million years ago! I’m so excited to have found a raw piece of it!!
