Monday is Monday, but we were greeted with a great story from Christian. As Sandra said, Christian didn’t want the party to end – and in fact wouldn’t let it (he didn’t leave until 4:30). But, when he finally left, he found that there were no buses running to his town and thought “it’s going to take me two hours to get home.” So here’s what he did – he found a bike laying in the grass, and just picked it up (also known as stealing, LOL) and rode it home. And today he is selling it to Christoph. Our own little black market. What a great drunken exchange, Because you have got to be really drunk to drop your bike somewhere, and you’ve also go to be pretty drunk to pick one up and ride it.

Random German Fact of the Day:

There is no word in the German language for spouse. There is husband. There is wife. But there is no umbrella term for that relationship.

Tepan: You are very afraid of people.
Me: What?
Tepan: Everytime someone moves, you either move away or go behind me.
Me: No, no no. I’m not afraid, it’s just that in my culture it’s polite and a sign of respect to make way for other people.
Tepan: Oh… Okay, Good.
