Classic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, their first stop was our university. And what a place! They met the mighty professors who command the great AI-powered tourist app project\u2014aka, my life now. We even gave them a quick tour, and oh boy, hold onto your brains: they\u2019ve got a full-on&nbsp;<strong>VR room<\/strong>, a&nbsp;<strong>motion capture lab<\/strong>, and a&nbsp;<strong>multimedia studio with a monster green screen<\/strong>. I\u2019m talking&nbsp;<em>Hollywood-level wizardry<\/em>. Did we take pictures? Of course not. Forbidden. Top-secret. Government-level security. (Or they just don\u2019t trust us with cameras.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then came the real field trip. I took the two on a magical journey to a&nbsp;<strong>burger joint disguised as a laundromat<\/strong>. Yeah, you read that right. Imagine grabbing your food from a freaking washing machine. I&#8217;ve never eaten anything that close to freshly rinsed socks, but hey\u2014<em>YOLO<\/em>, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since no one from the agency responded (hello? anyone home?), we ended up giving our trainers the&nbsp;<em>grand<\/em>&nbsp;tour of our apartment. They said it was cozy.&nbsp;<strong>COZY.<\/strong>&nbsp;I mean, sure, if sleeping on a mattress that screams &#8222;back pain 24\/7&#8220; counts as cozy. I swear, if they stayed here another night, they&#8217;d both be booking chiropractor appointments faster than you can say&nbsp;<em>\u201cHerniated disc.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, no German-in-Spain saga would be complete without trying\u00a0<strong>paella by the beach<\/strong>. Not bad, honestly. Tasted like sunshine and burnt rice in all the right ways. And let me tell you\u2014<strong>Mr. Gierschner<\/strong>\u00a0and his never-ending dad jokes? Almost killed me. Laughed so hard, I saw the digital afterlife.
