One Wolf in Germany (Entry 1)
13 years ago
General
So i arrived at Birmingham airport early on the 6th January, 2013. Scary, right? so i sit down in the departures shopping/leisure area. And i take out my phone for a few goodbyes after purchasing a much needed Tea from the journey. Unfortunately ill take this as an apology post because i couldn't really see all of you. I have had quite the stressful few weeks and on top of that it was my last real family Christmas for a few years. In short. I could not see all of you. But those that i did see made my departure much more relaxed, as I felt that i'd had one of the best send offs i could have asked for. With special thanks to My scruffy-mutt Twinface for making my new years :3c (I brought the 3D glasses to Germany)
So. Back on track, im sitting in the departure lounge sipping at my Harrogate tea. Reminded uncomfortably of Betty's and scalding silverware and the odd cake i entered an odd state of reminsense of the UK that made the whole ordeal of leaving a tad more saddening. Although i did harp on about the military not allowing me to see you all, i realize that that was "a load of old tosh" and that i could only start legitimately grumbling about that now.
Not one for sitting there and feeling sorry for myself. I got on the plane.
It was a trooping flight. what this means is its a tiny little commercial aircraft and only soldiers are on it. and i was bumping into friends id met years ago that were heading out to Germany to go 'back to work' and i was getting all the grumbles and praises about the garrisons out there. I was soon settled into the flight and we were underway. And one plastic 'small receptacle' of water and a tiny turkey and butter bap later. we were flying over Germany under the Hour. It was at this point we passed over a coastal area (in darkness) and from the plane window i could see vast 'blocks' of lighting, me and a colleague couldn't fathom what these could be, so if you have any idea please let me know!
More interesting sights were to be Beheld when we touched down. As we came into the baggage pick up. on the wall opposite the end of it was a large advertisement for a Harem. we chuckled about it until we realized that a brothel advertised in a public airport was a legitimate thing.
The route to my garrison was equally smooth yet subtly strange. The bus we were in was driving on the wrong side of the road, and it was making me slightly nervous every time oncoming traffic headlights could be seen on an approaching right bend~ we survived in one peice to reach the town. Decorated with Kabab houses and take-aways at every street.
I will tell you about barracks tomorrow, its a little ailienating at first due to the fact it is 'Chuffing Huge'. But again, will get onto that tomorrow.
Tried to keep my first entry condensed.
But in short. I am safe and missing you all. 'Specialy Twinface. Have a goodnight all
