Servus Tessa,

sorry for my late response this time. I had a little trouble with my "awesome" little brother... Himmel! This family can be irritating.

For some reason Prussia popped up out of nowhere last evening. Apparently he ran out of beer and came over to loot my Bierkeller, too. My precious Bavarian beer! He will be sorry for that. I guess it's time for another war of brothers. Now that I think about it, we German brothers have never lived under the same roof peacefully for long...

Oh, but at least Prussia didn't blow our bosses' last important meeting. They decided on a nuclear power phase-out - again. Acutally they passed this law some years ago, but stopped it afterwards, and now they're planning the phase-out of their phase-out's phase-out... I don't really get it, but I am happy that this nightmare will end in a few years.

How are your Rugby preparations going? I'll come to visit if you don't mind. But I have to restock my beer before that. I don't want to show up without a present for you.

Oh, FIFA world cup was fun. And your team did pretty good, funny thing that they were out even though they didn't lose at all. This friday our team will play against Austria's. Both, Roderich and Gilbert are completely fired up.

Pfiadi, Bavaria


Kia ora, Bavaria!

Ah, it's okay. Little siblings are always annoying – it's in their job description! Just ignore him.

Well, he did tell me he needed to get some more, although I kinda expected him to just buy some more, but I suppose he would say that that isn't awesome enough.

Would you really go to war over beer? That's wicked.

Good! Nuclear anything is bad. Sustainable power is much better...I hope it works out! You guy's have much more people then I do, and your cities are a lot bigger, so I understand why Nuclear power get used so often, but it's just so dangerous! It makes me worried...

It is ironic that I hate nulcear power and weapons – it was a Kiwi scientist who split the atom and made nuclear technology possible in the first place.

They're going brilliant! Although, I'm a little worried. We had to move a lot of games to Auckland and Wellington because the Chirstchurch stadium was badly damaged in the Earthquake, so i'm panicking that people will simply see the Earthquake and the damage it caused, and think it's too dangerous to come here because of the potential that it might happen again...

That's fine by me! You're always welcome here.

Beer.

That's 'cause we didn't win any either. Still, I haven't seen my people so fired up over a football team before, it was really amusing to watch. We were all so happy that we didn't lose against Italy, the rest of the cup didn't really matter! I do remember getting drunk with Spain though, that was fun.

Good Luck!
