Awesome, thanks guys for the bit of help. I just bought my ticket--May 15 here I come! I don't know anyone there (I've got some friends of friends I'm going to e-mail in the next few months), I don't know German really well, and I don't have a job set up or a place to live. It's going to be me, a few clothes, and my bike. I'm so stoked! Seriously, I can't believe I just bought a one-way ticket to another country!!!
