GERMANY
Yeah, you get two updates today. I hope the presence of a second entry in the same day shows the gravity of the situation.
Remember my theory about German gays? The gayer they are, the easier they are to understand and speak to? Remember we talked about Dieter and Herman?
Today has forced me to re-evaluate this theory.
I was sketching earlier, and a woman walked over to have a look. Her appearance and demeanour just screamed 'I am a butch lesbian' and I truly, genuinely expected the theory to work. But man, she was impossible to understand. The one thing I did take away from that conversation was that she really enjoyed using the word 'Wunderschön'. Literally, every 5 words or so.
So the new theory stands thus: the gayer the German man is, the easier he is to understand. The gayer the woman, the more difficult it gets.
This also, and worryingly ties in with my theory that all German women go through this vaguely lesbian phase. That is, the short to ultra-short hair and the general butch demeanour. For those of you doing Altenberg tomorrow, look at for Frau Wasserberger or something bringing out food at mealtimes; she is a prime example. Kind of Eddie Izzard in the late 90's looking.
And, bar the contingent of over-65's and children in Neuerburg, I'll wager that women at this stage make up another 30% of the population here.
Wunderschön.
