Afterwards I was dying to order a large beer at the BrauHaus but couldn't bring myself to sitting at a bar alone. I think it looks too DESPERATE, plus I wouldn't meet fun girlfriends, just drunk men. No thanks.
While walking home my supervisor drove by and picked me up., He invited me out to a group/work birthday party later on that evening - which I happily accepted (after asking several questions to ensure I wasn't getting roped into the 'surprise date'. More to come on this touchy topic...).
Guess what - I had the best time! I met 3 fun girlfriends and we stayed out till 2am telling stories and laughing while enjoying the German beer I had been craving. 
We even pigged out at a Doner Kebap, which is seared lamb with cabbage, tomatoes, onions and garlic yogurt sauce wrapped up in a declicious thin bread. So good!

MAJOR PERK: My new girlfriend Donna invited me to join her and her co-workers on a trip to France this morning. Yes, FRANCE!!!! In my late night stupor I enthusiastically agreed. Sad to say I had to cancel this morning as I realized I am on a dumb 2-week travel probation (everyone has to do this when they first arrive). SUCK. We made plans to go out locally Thursday night instead. Yay for new friends!

That's awesome! Good for you!!
And you'll have to do a makeup trip to France :)
That's awesome!! Yay for new friends!
I'm so happy you have met some people! Sucks you had to cancel on France, but I am so sure you'll have other opportunities to head that way!!! :-)
And I laugh at how you said you couldn't sit at bar alone! I actually often prefer going to the bar by myself as opposed to with people!!! LOL I have met some of the coolest people this way. Actually in early 2008 in Frankfurt I went to bar alone and met two girls that are still GREAT friends of mine today! They were so excited when they found out I was from the US, and one of them had been here so many times, so they were interested in chatting. Doesn't always happen, but you never know :-)
Hope you're having an amazing time and downing a big tall German lager for me!
oh, awesome! looks like you're quite the social butterfly! good luck with the new peeps ; )
love,

No please dont be lonely in Germany!!! I love that you met some cool girls! This is the adventure of a lifetime!! I agree go to a bar alone. I bet you would meet some awesome people!!
Hi Vern! Really? The bar alone.....ugh. Ok - I will hit one and see what happens.
Being here active duty is sooooo different than popping in for 2 weeks with the reserves. I have to 'sign out' when I leave the area PLUS get approval for all trips. Major culture shock.
Megan your story is inspiring - plus it was backed up by Ms. Vern so I will hit a bar alone. I think it depends on the bar too, some seem more inviting than others.
I can't believe you're still in touch with your bar friends - thats amazing. You must have really made an impact on them. Thanks for the support!
Oh merde! Hopefully you will get another opportunity!
