We had a big melt down on the bus today. I attribute it to Y. drinking his heffeweissen (and mine!) too fast. He freaked when the driver asked for our tickets and it quickly escalated. We had gone down to the big, central park for a walk before supper. I like being a foreigner. What little propriety/inhibitions I had before go out the window. Danke! Guten tag!
Today the girls and I went to the Funkstum...a radio tower that looks like a mini Eiffel tower. IT was a long slog, and not really worth the effort - but they're troopers, those two. And the promise of an ice cream treat (a BumBum is the current favourite) and the park are enough to motivate them for now.
I asked Y to come home early today (aha....I'm starting to understand his knicker knots now...) because I have been off work more than a week and wanted to get something done (revolutionary idea, i know). SO I holed up in SB (only place that takes MC and I had no cash) and tried to map out the summer. I must say, not much time for science.
Berlin is the most de-centralized city I've ever been to...there is no centre. Just a collection of neighbourhoods that feel like small towns.
Must learn more German: in a public toilet the other day, pulled the emergency cord instead of the flush. Entire restaurant came barrelling down the stairs!
(note: red buttons usually connote some sort of safety/security/emergency system)

So..they caught you with your knickers down. Nice to know somebody cares enough to run to your assistance on the potty.What exactly happened on the bus? Does it involve you and Y shouting Canadian profanity perhaps?
ReplyDeleteYes, the details of the melt down sound like they would be "arresting"!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, the passengers probably thought you were Americans!
