# Hurrah for germans
and their disregard for punctuation and grammar.

Theoretically, there is no upper limit for german word length. In practice, germans need to breathe.

# "Flaumig"

# Haha!
Last time I was in Germany, total strangers kept asking me for directions. In German. And not all of these strangers were German. I don't speak a word of German, but can only assume I have the look of a native. It was bewildering.

Either that, or I'm stupid for being surprised by people talking German in Germany. Yes, that sounds more likely...

# last time I was in germany
I was asked the way to the youth hostel.
Which was astonishingly convenient as "where is the youth hostel" is the only non-beer-related phrase I know in German and I was coincidentally on the way to the youth hostel.

ever start a sentence and wish you hadn't bothered?

# At least you came out of that looking less stupid than me.
Germany and Germans are lovely, but the diet of würste und bier doesn't really agree with me.
