Nearly Punched someone today

The day began fairly uneventfully. Jenny and I walked to the metro together. I got off a few stops ahead of her and transferred to a different train to meet Nick again. As I got on the train I through away the useless metro ticket. I was getting them mixed up in my pocket and was causing all kinds of problems when I was trying find a valid ticket. This would come back to haunt me later in all it's gory detail.

The reason I was meeting nick was because we were exploring the French Army Museum today. And like nearly every invading army before us, we found a way around their complicated moat and cannon defense system to find our way around the defenses and into the heart of the museum.
Walking around the plaza inside it wasn't long before we found our first French over exaggeration. Anyone who knows a little U.S. Military history knows that the United States 101st Airborne Division were the first soldiers to reach Berchtesgaden. Bechtesgaden or "The Eagles Nest" was Adolf Hitler's own palace of sorts in the Alps. These silly Frenchmen were claiming that they and not the United States made it to the top first. I think they were confusing surrendering to the Germans first and reaching Hitler's Palace first. An honest mistake.
The rest of the museum was really cool. Our first stop was the tomb of Napoleon. It was very impressive with a huge dome and you could look at his tomb below. He was surrounded by his son and several of France's most famous military commanders including Vauban who I had to read about extensively in my military history class.
The next stop was the Royal weapons and Armor collection. It was soooo cool. It was all kinds of Medieval Armor. I didn't take too many pictures. Just one of a guy on his armored out horse. We did the ENTIRE museum. It went from the Medieval Period through Napoleon and through both World Wars. The museum did give the U.S. props for World War One which was nice to get a little respect around here.
After the little museum trip I headed on back. I used one of the ten tickets I bought this morning for around 11.60 Euros. I put my ticket through and threw it away before I got on the train. As I was changing trains there were several Metro workers stopping people and checking tickets. I said I threw my ticket away because it was useless. I then showed them the almost ten other tickets that I paid for. They assumed since I had no ticket I clearly jumped the gate and didn't pay even though I had all these unused tickets. They couldn't understand a word I was saying. I was SOOO pissed. I'm actually just getting over it now and it happened a couple hours ago. The penalty for this was 25 EURO!! twice what I paid this morning for 10 tickets. I was seriously about to punch someone in the face and tell them where to stick it. SO i basically got robbed by the government. I don't forgive such offenses. They are a country of whining babies and losers and always will be sore about it. It's not my fault they suck.

Going out with Jenny and her friends again tonight.
