I wish I could eat real food. *Sigh*
There are a lot of meetups around here...too bad I don't have a car at the moment.

Cavey said:OK, lesson learned. Just because every German person I know has flawless English skills, does not mean that the entire population does. I should not have presumed that I had been understood, because now things are rapidly going from bad to worse. I hope it's not Rodent - I've seen his avatars...

I've formed a cunning contingency plan. In the event that it is, in fact, Rodent, I plan to distract him with Steam keys and awesome headwear prior to making a run for it.

Eh, I only smite those who repeatedly and irresponsibly mutilate my mother tongue. There's a significant chance that whoever you talked to never had more than the most basic contact with the English language. Pretty much every East German of an older generation. But I wonder how that person reacted...
(In German) "What is this foreign tongue? I'm sure this man just disgraced my mother and father!"
PS: I'll take the keys and headwear anyway. Pleasure doing business with you, sir.
