I have been ignoring my blog. Why, cause I'm a busy person. And because my husband is sitting next to me clicking on stuff on reddit and saying look at this cute penguin. I swear I can barely type up a sentence. Lets see, in the past two months I've done pretty much the same stuff I do every week, except I did go back America for 2 weeks. We went to a wedding, which I missed, because my nephew wanted to show everyone that we was 2 years old and that being 2 actually is terrible. So I took him out. (hold on I'm looking at a picture of a cat playing poker.) My aunt visited me in Germany. She took me to a zoo where I petted a lemur. I've had tons of visitors, so I've been showing people around. We had some Americans visit our church. I volunteered to show them around our town, cause it's really pretty. It ended up raining that day, but it's Germany, so that's really nothing new. So we were walking them through the town and they were so miserable in their cloth Tom shoes. (not made for rain) So anyways, I forget stuff about american culture. Like when you stay in a hotel across the street from wal-mart you still have to drive there, cause there's no traffic lights for pedestrians and also no sidewalks. And I've recently realized that Americans don't walk in bad weather. Yes I'm sure there's exceptions. Like for a romantic scene at the end of a movie, or when you're having a mud fight, or when you have to park really far away from the mall. So if you come and visit me I'll probably make you miserable and walk a million kilometers in the rain. And you'll hate Germany, and I'll have no idea why.
Ok I really shouldn't post this, cause one it's late and two I'm going through that phase of culture shock where you love everything about the culture you're in and get annoyed with your own birth culture. So, if you stay with me thanks. I'm going to get through this. And besides I always love American food the mostest.
At the safari where I pet a lemur, there was a monkey cage where if you came in with a backpack the monkey would jump on your back and open it like a professional pick pocket. It was awesome...I'm probably only saying that, cause I didn't have a backpack. But then again I didn't get to hold a monkey on my back. Pluses and negatives.
I understand the whole cultural changes! Eddie and I (from College) have been in Japan for 3 years now and have 3 more before we get moved and things are different for sure! I notice a LOT more how rude americans are and yes how they don't walk in the rain or anything. Here the japanese walk/ride in all weather...I am hoping that someday we are lucky enough to get to see Germany as well, I've always heard wonderful things about it
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to go to Tokyo! It's funny that you say that Americans are rude, cause we go to America and are shocked at how friendly and chatty Americans are. It freaks us out! So if you ever make it over here, get ready to be ignored and always told the truth. It comes across as rude, but it's just them being honest...painfully honest sometimes. :)
ReplyDeletehaha I am ok with painfully honest usually :)Germany is on my top to visit list. I would like to someday go to Tokyo also haha have not been there so far beyond the train station and airports. We are in the country up in northern japan. I have seen Okinawa though! Beautiful place if you like tropical.
