We just went out for a most awesome meal. We ate our first pretzels; I had my first wurst. Dan had a hunk of pig that was positively medieval accompanied by a dumpling the size of my fist.I also had my first German beer. It was a wheat beer with lemonade mixed through. Tasty!
We haven't done much today. We've been sitting around the hotel watching TV shows on the laptops, dozing and faffing around on the Internet. It's nice having a day to just laze around rather than running from one tourist attraction to the next.
For those of you who can understand German, you might be curious about the title of this post. It refers to the joy I get from asking for items in different languages and purchasing them.
Ah, good to hear that you've already tasted your first Radler!
ReplyDeleteDu bist schon eine Verbrauchereschlampe? And how! I thank you on behalf of my (adopted) economy ... you can almost think of it as contributing to my wage. Almost.
See you guys in a week!
They just called it a Raß on the menu...
ReplyDeleteJas loves the thrill of asking for stuff in pidgin German/French and being politely corrected, but being *understood*; versus my shy-guy effort of saying "Do you speak English? No? One of these then, please" whilst smiling, laughing and gesturing.
Both work.
I use the same justification when paying taxes at home, saying to myself that I'm simply giving Jas some money through her wage :)
