Spring. Glorious Spring.
I think it's almost here. Today we spent a lovely lovely afternoon down by the lake and we turned our faces to the sun for the few seconds that it appeared through the clouds.
We played Frisbee. I had to apologize to a few people that got hit by the Frisbee. I know the German word for sorry, which I used a number of times. However, I have no idea what their reply is.
No worries. Nice dress.
or
Stupid Cow. Can't you control that thing?!!
Who can tell? Thank goodness German classes start this Wednesday.
I went to a new church this morning and really liked it. It was Palm Sunday and all the kids were up the front singing a few tunes. The Pastor had a few questions for them. He was talking about the original Palm Sunday (Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey in a parade-like atmosphere with people waving palm branches). He then asked the kids what they thought a parade would look like in Switzerland if Jesus came and what people would wave, since there are no palm branches here. The first answer?
Money!!
I've got 10 days off in 5 days time. I'm not sure what to do with this time. I'm hoping to join a couple of other au pairs on a trip to Berlin, Prague and Vienna. I'm hoping to buy train tickets tomorrow. I have no idea. How does one plan a trip like that?! Where do you even begin?!
Oh, and in other rather exciting news, I went to France yesterday. To the toilet. I walked across the border. Toilet. And back. And repeat sometime later in the day. I'm glad my first experience of this great country was so fulfilling and enthralling. It's a memory I'll treasure forever.
More on yesterday perhaps tomorrow. 'night.

I used to live in Vienna! I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteUsually after you say Entschuldigung they answer something like this " Es macht nicht" what means roughly "Nothing bad was done by you" : )- kind of German "no worries".
ReplyDeleteI am very glad you learn foreign language. it is good excercise for the mind and it shows that English language is not the only one in the world : )
I neer could understand why they used to wave the palm leaves. Money is more reasonable :P for someone drving a donkey instead of big car.
neer = never
