This past weekend was largely spent either relaxing or finishing homework that is due, at this point, tomorrow. There were two notable happenings though. The first was my multi-hour walk to and from Bonn from Bad-Godesberg. On the way back to Bad-Godesberg, I passed by the Bonn Kunstmuseum, the entrance of which can be seen in the picture, and I also came across some interesting looking statues. The first statue, or monument, I suppose, is in the picture to the left. I saw it outside near the Haus der Geschichte, and that’s really all I know about it. The second statue was of a man in a suit with what appeared to be a pig’s head. What made this one interesting was that it was positioned on the side of the road in the dirt, and, as far as I could tell, it is not that close to any buildings that would usually have such a thing.
The second thing was my introduction to a German dub of an American movie. The title of the movie in question is unimportant and something that I will leave to your imagination. Truthfully, I only saw it on TV as I was sitting in a bakery eating some sweets. I was surprised at the quality of the dub and how well the voices seemed to “fit” the characters. This opinion may be due to my unlearned ears, however.
