"The great national temperance beverage." - Coca Cola slogan 1906



This week I am in the city with the coolest name in Europe : Düsseldorf. Every time I write it or say it, I want to say “dork” instead of “dorf”. I have found, however, that the Düssel isn’t a dork at all and is actually pretty cool.

One fun thing is that it has a lot of good restaurants. So far I’ve had Spanish, Italian twice, and German twice. I got made fun of for ordering a Coke at lunch since “all Americans drink Coke”, but I almost never drink Coke, don’t even like it, and only ordered it because I can pronounce it anywhere. I wanted to make fun of the people at my table who ordered the double cheeseburger (which is actually called a double cheeseburger), but instead I just sipped my Coke.

I plan on exploring more of what the dorkf has to offer.
