Life in Germany 5!

Crazed homeless woman?
Insane rollerblading witch?
Desparate transsexual streetcleaner?

No! It's another 30th birthday tradition
for an unlucky German single guy.



In Germany, when you lock the door, you can turn
the key once or TWICE. If you turn it once, the
door is locked. If you turn it twice, it's
REALLY locked.


Being a California boy, I am not so used to the
snow. Here is how it looked one day when I was
walking to work. The next day, the snow was pretty
much melted again.


You can buy laundry detergent as giant pills here.


In Germany, the first floor is called
'0' or 'E' for Erdgeschoss.
The second floor is 1, the third 2, and so on.


Because space is so expensive in Europe, sometimes you
see two level parking stalls like this one.

There is a hydrolic lift that moves the cars up
and down. Cool!



One thing I don't think I'll ever get used to
is seeing mustard in a toothpaste tube.

As if that wasn't gross enough, check out the
ketchup and mayonnaise mixed together in a tube!



be!
