Cake for breakfast (Sara)

We are going to visit our friends in South Germany in the summer holidays and I want to share with you my absolute favorite moment whenever we visit them:

I wake up in the morning to the chirping of birds and I can hear the lovely mother, Maria, rummaging around in the kitchen downstairs making breakfast. I sneak into the bathroom, trying not to make any noise because everybody else is still sleeping. When I come down the stairs, I sit down at the kitchen table and Maria has a hot cup of tea and a piece of her freshly-baked cake ready for me. (Maria and her family eat homemade cake for breakfast, yummy!) By the time that I finish sipping on my hot tea and eat the last crumbs of the delicious cake, everybody else will have smelled the mouthwatering scent of tea and cake . They come down the stairs and sit down, read the newspaper, have breakfast and talk about what we are going to do that day. These are moments of total peace and happiness to me.

Looking forward to seeing you guys!

While doing my homework today, i wondered, why we always assume, that Martians are going to come in metal spaceships… Why metal?

blissful (Sara)

I was in town buying myself a pair of very worm socks when a very funky dressed young lady passed by me, just smiling, in her own thoughts…. I just thought that was beautiful,that smiling young lady amongst all the grumpy grey people who just can’t accept the fact that the weather isn’t great.

A little man but a big effect (Sara)

The last two school years I had a teacher in German and History that the whole class disliked and we often got into arguments with him.  For example:

He said he just did’t want to listen to us complaining about our class test, even though he had messed up and some students hat gotten an  A if they had 95% of the answers right, whereas the others only gotten an A with 98% right answers.  So, I’m sure you can see that that is a bit unfair, but he wouldn’t listen to us. He would say “Shut up!” to us almost every lesson.  Same scenario in History. So you probably can see that we didn’t get to learn much. (Actually we learned almost nothing in the two years…)

Now we have completely new teachers and today was our first History lesson with our new teacher and it was like being reborn! (I’m not exaggerating here :D ) We talked about Napoleon the entire lesson and it was interesting ! I couldn’t believe it….  Well this story isn’t very funny or beautifully written, but I just had to inform you what sometimes goes on in schools….

International Travel (Lia)

What’s with the flip flops?

(Since when has it become acceptable for people in airports and planes to wear flip flops on their travels? Is it only me, or is this something like jocks going topless in Adidas shorts downtown on a summer day? Not a pretty sight and not so appropriate. Or, is this just one of many indications that I am out of sync with things?)

supermarket stories (Sara)

I had to go to the supermarket around the corner, this evening, because we are having a breakfast in school tomorrow, since it’s the second to last friday until holiday. I had to buy rasberry marmalade and milk. These are the people I saw at the cashier:

- one very funky looking woman, about 20 years old, with dreadlocks and wooden earrings, buying everything you need for a really good and spicy Chilli con Carne

- one kinda clueless looking blond woman with a red Disneyland sweater and bellbottom jeans, buying one piece of butter

- one uptight married couple (complaining about everything in the supermarket) buying one bottle of wine, one bottle of champagne , one pretzel and a really tasteless, cheap birthday card, which said something like: Happy Birthday! Lots of luck and lots of money for you… I mean .. Hello??

- one very fashionable women in her late 30′s , who just had to buy the new Vogue, even at 7 o’clock  in the evening
