latest in shopping technology

i''ve been staying with d. the lest few days. i had not seen her for 11 years so we had some catching up to do. staying at her parents place (they're in a caribbean).
went to a supermarket today with a diy check out where you scan your groceries yourself and put them through a conveyor belt and pay by credit card. no checkout operator - i've never seen that before!
utrecht tomorrow. T is in Germany til Tuesday so I'll camp or something then stay with him. He works in U four days a week and spends Friday and the weekend at Bochum so most likely I'll drive there for the weekend with him before heading for the Pfalz by bike.
In the next few days I want to try to get the rest of my itinery sorted - Berlin, London and Istanbul? We'll see.
