Walking home from dinner with my new German friend.
Man at a bus stop, "Hey girls, hey girls, hi girls."
Us: "..."
Man: "Ya snobby coonts!" Five minutes of unintelligble gibberish followed us down the street to the next block.
I've been called a lot of things in my life, but never a "snobby cunt."
German girl: "..."
Me: laughing hysterically.
Scene.
You should always 'top o' the mornin'' people in Ireland.
I must admit, it is a shock at first, having strangers enquire after your health on a fairly regular basis, but life becomes a habit.
I really hope you are well, leelee. x

I don't suppose you speak German either. More nodding, pointing, and use of very common English words. (Mostly 'hello', and 'yes', I'm guessing. 'Penis' might be pretty common--hehe, *schlange*--if they're anything like us, but I'm not sure when that'd come up.) Yeek. Poor you.
I draw a bit, so I figure if I travel to a foreign country maybe I can draw out what I'm asking. It worked for this one comic artist who went to Japan; he met a manga artist in a bar and they scribbled out a whole conversation on a napkin. But, er, I have doubts on finding a comic artist on every street corner. Even a crappy web-comic artist. Le sigh.
See you Lina. Awaiting more insane stories from Germany.

Have you had chips with mayonnaise yet? Or is that a relic of the past?
