i arrived in dec and it suddenly turned so damn cold. worked outiside everyday, so tried to put on whatever i found just to get warm (scarf,gloves). "why r u wearing a scarf? u'r from germany. u should be used to this weather!" - yeah, sure, but in germany i can wear my winter clothes. in october: "u must have a lot of snow back home, now, right?" - i don't know where they got this from u remember those scarfs the internationals working for GR have to wear? a woman once came up to my friend and said: "my hands r wet. can i just use ur towel for a moment?" i pretty liked it when they came up to the sommerfest's register: "the buffet for 2,please." or standing right in front of the restaurant: "where do we find the restaurant?" (well, right behind me) "why is the potato salad cold?" - because it's always it. my gosh, i hated it so much when they came up to the restaurant and just said "2", "4".... yeah what? 2eggs??? once, i just said "hey"- "oh, u just have a lovely accent!" (i didn't know that my prononciation was really that bad) but the rest of the time, i actually had a lot of fun with my guests. i always tried to make them laugh by asking for an ID to buy a coke ("u need to see my ID for a coke?"- "well, i think there's too much sugar for u in it.2),("i'm sorry, sir, i can only serve u one coke per person.") at 12h30, especially during summer months, so no guests:" if u wanna have lunch, there will be a waiting time of 90minutes!" yup, they really liked.... i just remember onel bad day. was outside at the beerline serving schnaps. has anyone ever seen those selfmade passports for adults? in every country a cm has to sign that he served them an alcoholic drink. well, there were those people, all ordering a"dritten reich" or "screaming nazi" and were laughing about it so loud. had to sign there f***in passports in which they actually had written "drittes reich"e" (at least get the spellng right!!!). felt a bit ashamed, not for me, but for them

WAAAAAAAAY belated explanation... Let me try to remember which one it was... (yes, there are multiple) I think that's the one when the child grabbed my arm and started twisting it really hard, and wouldn't let go until a chipmunk (Chip or Dale) came up and wrenched his disgusting, food-covered hand off my arm. If you want to hear the other ones, just ask

I actually met a guy from Nunavut today. He lost his wallet and it got turned in to our lost and found. He lives on the north side of Baffin Island and they have no streets...his address was house 610. HA! He had his hunting license and sadly for him, he's already hunted his share of moose this year. I nearly died. I felt like a knob asking him all the stupid american tourist questions!!!! His wife is Canada's Northernmost doctor. Wow. My brain is lacking in the stupid guest comments at the moment. But I was telling someone at work today about Enrique sleeping on the KIDCOT table and kids beating him with their masks to wake him up (probably cause I told them too!). Shan
