As I walked to work today (leisurely, since I’m actually listening to my alarm again), I passed the cutest little girl. In the field that lines my path and is behind the Kinderhaus, they were cutting the grass. But with thing I had never seen before, where the blade is like a weed-wacker, but spins vertically like a plane propeller. And this little girl, all decked out in pink (shoes, socks, shirt, hair ties), a pink, bright blue & green skirt, covered in some kind of cartoon character was just amazed.

She would tip-toe over the line to pass and watch the man cut the grass, and when he turned around, she would hop back. The entire time, her eyes were just huge, in that fascinated yet bewildered way. And as she walked, she came up on where the guy was cutting, and surprise! got sprayed with some grass. At which point she clearly decided that although neat, she was going to have no more of this, and continued walking with her lollipop.

Other than that, typical day, but I got another new roommate. Phillip, professor of Economics History from France, and he seems really nice.

Random German Fact of the Day:

Men’s wallets have these cute little internal coin purses. The rest of the wallet looks completely normal, but since €1 & €2 along with normal cents are in coins, they’re a necessity. A cute necessity.
