22 April 2010; 21.07: Oh how embarrassing. My iPhone alarm went off to take a photo as I was rummaging through the fridge looking for something chocolaty. Luckily for me, I live in a house with three children and sweets are aplenty. If you’ve never had any sort of Kinder product, first off FOR SHAME. Secondly, get your hands on some. I would recommend Kinder Bueno which I’ve had a pretty unhealthy obsession with since 2002.
Challenge of the Day: Parking. I’ve done my fair share of improv parking in New York, but only because I have a MINI Cooper and feel as if that means I can get away with it. Here in Germany, people park anywhere and everywhere. This includes (but is not limited to) five feet behind and perpendicular to me, thereby boxing me in. This isn’t a one of occasion. Just the other day, I accidentally tapped a BENTLEY that had done the exact same thing. It wouldn’t be a problem if the cars were small here, but Hamburg is the Orange County of Germany and everyone has these massive SUVs not suited for the small European roads and parking lots. Every time I drive anywhere I’m forced to pull an Austin Powers inspired 35 point turn. It’s embarrassing and frustrating.
Learnt German Word of the Day: Heiraten - to marry. As in: “Heiraten Sie mich für einen netten deutschen Mann des Visum?” (“Will you marry me for a visa nice German man?”) - I kidddd I kidddd. Marriage is for saps.
