oh…here’s some insight…
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010Unnamed Italian friend: All women are bitches except for my mother…
This only came up because of the discussion on Italy and how italian men are so respectful of their mothers yet so disrespectful of all other women…the comment came out at the end of the discussion, but it pretty much sums up the conversation
I hope my italian colleauges will discuss…
Unnamed multinational friend: Fucking yanks…can’t teach them any class…
this came up when I turned down Australian crisps…The comment may have been an overreaction
change purses and inspection plates…
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010I forgot about those two things that the Germans love. Change purses I’m sure everyone understands, but inspection plates might need an explanation…uhhh….the toilets here have a weird shape with a large flat area to collect the numbers twosies…that way you can inspect when you’re finished. Health reasons I’m sure…
I’ve been here for 8 days already. Is that right? Crazy times
Having lots of fun in Frankfurt.
Random quotes so far:
Luca: If you want an italian girl you must shave your beard.
Berger: When I first met you I thought you were a badass. Then the next time I met you you were all sensitive and shit…
Mel: Rhona said you were her favourite ex-pat
Me: really!?!
Mel: Well second favourite, behind Catholicism.
duh
