GERMANY
I am writing to celebrate a momentous occasion.
Before shipping out here, I had visions of being able to go to the pub and ask the German barlady (who would always be wearing a dirndl) for "the usual". To which she would respond by pouring a massive beer or two, possibly not charging for the second because I'm such a good customer.
Seeing as all 2 of the pubs here are frequented by old men who I really don't think would appreciate my company, the above fantasy never really took off.
In reality, the German barlady wearing a dirndl manifests herself in the form of a small Chinese lady, and the large beers take the form of Vietnamese duck spring rolls and chicken fried rice. This lady remembered my order after I ate there once. I can now officially walk into a food outlet and the people there will know what I'm after.
I'm sure you can all appreciate the gravity of this achievement.
