Day 5

Day5:

Bought some cold medicine today! I've no idea what it is. I just told the lady (in german) that I didn't speak a lot of German, that I had a cold, and that it was in my nose . . . haha. She brought me a box, and I can't really tell if it's working, but it must be. I had some fun trying to buy something and then return it today at the "Best Buy" of Germany: Saturn. The man tried to tell me where to go, but I was utterly confused. I could understand his German alright, but I couldn't understand his English at all. He said "go back to the place you bought it." I said "I bought it here." Then he sighed and kind of waved at me to wait, called something over the speaker, and helped out the guy behind me. I finally understood what he meant the second time around, but it was still embarassing. Oh well, I got a charger for me phone, and as far as I can tell, it works.

I went into work and basically filled out paper work and got introduced to 20 different people.

When I got home the man who lives here was back, and I told him I bought some medicine, and he scolded me. He told me I should drink some fresh lemon juice or something (he listed about 6 different things). Then I asked if he had any bikes I could borrow. He said he did have a few. I mentioned maybe riding to work. He said "no no! You can't ride to work! It's so close! You need to walk. You need natural motion!" Granted work is only a 20 minute walk away . . . but it's a 20 minute walk! oh man. Germans are funny.
