I also do the ID/debit card thing on a regular basis. In general many things like that happen to me, but thi is one of my favourites: When I was still living with my parents, one day I walked up the stairs to the apartment and looked at the shoe rack, noticing that a pair of shoes was missing. I...

Oh dear god that's it!! thank you so much :D

I also have one game that I've been trying to remember for at least a decade...I never actually played it myself, I just watched a friedn play it. I would guess it was in about 1997but the game might be a little older. It was a point and click adventure, I think you had to retrieve a comb(not...

I really don't see why this is such a big deal. If you will make your children feel like it's a taboo, later it will be a lot more difficult thing for them to make responsible decisions about it. And if you wait until they're actually old enough to _technically_ do those things, it really might...

NO CAPES! Seriously though, I don't work in a sector were this would be relevant, so I can't say for sure. But from the stories I've heard from friends ,in Germany the way you work is mostly considered either common sense or the responsibility of the place where you learn to do you're job.

Yeah translating books is quite a good possibility to ruin them :D I think that goes for most language pairs. But slightly more on topic: I do the exact same thing with my boyfriend (he's the one reading though) and we usually pick thosereally awful romance novels about some sort of knight in...

Wow that is quite a big question you ask there. I think we have sufficiently established that there are a lot of different reason depending on the combination of people who are in it. So the most I can contribute to this is saying how it is for me. After a lot of trial and error at one point I...

I'm from Germany where you can drink tap water any time, so I used to do that. But now I live in Korea, and it's not advised to drink the tap water here, so I buy bottled water. But what confuses me is wether I can use the tap water for cooking or not. Like if i boil rice for example? I use...

I'm German, but I live in France at the moment. I love Europe!

how much costs toothpaste in france? i'm moving there in a month, and asked a friend who just came from there for some usefull advise, and all she said was: buiy toothpaste, iit'S expensive there.

I was in a bar in France with some friends. We saw a really good looking guy, and as he was talking french to his friends, we supposed he was french, and talked in german about how extremely hot he was. At some point he turned around and said "oh, so you're from germany aswell?" That was VERY...

I got my tongue pierced a couple of months ago, and I love it. I generally like piercings, not in the eyebrow though, I don't know why, but I just think that doesn't look good. I like piercings that are not visible at the first glance. Oh I just remembered one piercing that's even worse than...
