Fun to Learn a few Germans ;)

When i Learn something New, i Try to Look for a Way to have FUN :)
It Helps me to Remeber what i've learned from.
i Memorized some numbers,words and phrases for a waitress in German.
Since i Wanted to communicate with (esp) little kids sometimes, and also to Show my Willingness to Learn the language :)
i Tried to learn some more as much as possible ;)
When i was memorizing the phrase "How are you?" in German...
it Sounded like "Bill Gates" to me ;)
so... Once after i thought that i memorized it, i Used IT to a little kid.
and the boy responded "good" in German, so i Thought that he got my German :)
Next week, i met his mom and told her about my German little chat with her boy.
Then she told me, her son Wondered why someone told him "Bill Gates" the otehr day LOL i Laughed about myself :D
*"Be(e) gates" must be closer sound?!

Another word "Aubergine" the german word means "eggplant" in English.
on that day... one of the three free/little dishes were eggplant' pickles.
the color was dark blue, so many guests who ordered "today's meat/fish special"
asked a waiter and waitresses "What it was"
Since it sounded like "Over-Jeans" to me, i said so to some guests ;)
Some of them Understood what I was Trying to say, and some Wondered and Figured out the meaning later :)
I Explained it to Some of them sometimes :)
It was FUN to Learn some NEW Words in German... i WISH that i Could Learn IT Well and Sooner... but, it was HARD! it's such a Smart Language :)

Kamps' COUPONS!

Kamps is One of the Biggest Bakely stores in Germany!
i Really LIKED it... so YUMMY!!!
Once i FOUND the COUPONS at my work place.
It was Very NICE and i Tried to Use SOME coupons quickly :)
but...I didnt try One of them for a few days...
it Said, "something 1000g" ;)
First, i Thought that it could be something uncountable thing -
so Must be the Cookies?! I was Hoping so.
One Saturday early morning, before i was heading to work at the airport...
i decided to Stop by to get the thing so that i could eat some in the train Before Work :)
since i Noticed that the workers at some bakely stores dont speak English a lot,
so i Just Showed a worker the coupon Without ASKing at the moment lol
When the worker got "IT"... i said to myself "SHOOT!" LOL.
IT was "a Huge bread, 1000g weights" Ha,Ha,Ha.
i was So Surprised to SEE it and got it anyways.
Then i Had to Carry it with me All day-Long on that day...
After i Got Work OFF...
i Really needED to Go Shopping, which was already Planned before.
So, i took the bread with me.
a bread is usually about 100-200g, right? so the bread was like more than 5 times Heavy for me... IT made me So EXHAUSTED! A Funny thing was i sometimes Forgot that i was Having IT with me and Wondered How come my arms got so Tired today! lol
i had to Laugh about myself sometimes! :D
Ended up... it was huge and i thought that i couldnt make it to eat all by myself, i brought it to the missionaries if they knew some people who needed.
but, they didnt have any, so sisters got IT.
it was a FUNNY adventure! ;)

a 50 cents' guy

31st December 2009

Since i just Moved into my apartment a couple of days ago... so, I was trying to Set-Up during my Winter-break! a...Whole week, i had to spend CLEANING a LOT lol...
i did NOT know what kinda cleaning stuff i Should/Could use for the floor, and because of the Language, i Couldnt Figure it OUT lol!
i Kept Cleaning till the break was Over :( Poor girl!

I went to IKEA to get some Furnitures as well!!! i Loved going there :)
it was FUN to see Tons of Cute equipments there.

Anyways, in the evening... i was Waiting for a Straße bahn (street train),
a guy was Asking each person as much as he could.
First, i was Not sure What he was doing... but, he asked a woman (who was Standing next to me) Something in Germany. I didnt Expect that he would ask me too lol But, he Did. So, i responded him "auf Englisch, bitte" (in English, please) :) And Then... he Spoke to me in English and Said "Give me 50 cents, please"
i asked him back "50 cents?"
since i didnt just wanna give any money to the people who need it for drugs or so... i Decided to Take him to the Bakery and get a pretzel, Which i Could...
But... then he started complaining about the cheap bread :(
So... i Wondered Why he wouldnt work for a living???
Sounded like to me, he could speak German and English and Still Young...
He could Find some Good jobs if he would?
i Got a Wish that someone Could help him to
Know How to Work and also to enJOY his Life here! ;)
a Funny part was on the way i was going Back to the stop
where i was waiting for the bahn... the same woman Showed me her TWO,
both "THUMBS UP!!"
i Smiled and Explained her What just Happened! :P
i Understand that Work is tough sometimes, but Good to Work on Something!
i've been POOR, but its Always GOOD to do something for a Living ;)
I can Feel that i'm Alive.
 

the Day i Left for Düsseldorf, Deutschland!

First, i was supposed to Fly to Germany on the 8th of October 2009... but, a Typhoon was Coming before the weekend.So, "just in case" i changed my flight schedule.
When my Old office worker Booked my ticket, i got the permission to Take 40kg luggages with me(Very NICE) so i was Able to pack Lots of things :)
but... when i got to Fukuoka airport (since i changed the schedule later), the air plane company missed the info. about my luggages. i prayed inside first "it will Work OUT" and i had to Wait for about a half hour to figure out.
while i was waiting for the result, i Worried about if i had to pay for the charge... it would cost about $2000- or so... Scary! and i just had some money but NOT a Lot. lol
i was So HaPpy when it Worked OUT!
i flew from Fukuoka to Narita on the 10th and i stayed at a hotel there one night, and then flew from Narita to Frankfult, on the 11th.
on the way i was heading to Narita airport(from the hotel)... i GOT a very Curious situation!!! that Cracked me UP ;) my Eyes were So Opened and Tried to Find OUT "What it was going on" i Don't remember WHAT exactly HAPPENed...i mean, i Heard something announcement, but didnt Hear it well. Anyways something happened,
so there were Too MANY police men at the examining/inspection Bar and they were investigating something or someone... "Yep" i Had to Show my passport even i didnt get to the airport Yet LOL,haha.
i had a Quiet moment in the airport before Boarding.
the Flight was OK, a little Longer and Boring...there was No screen in front of my seat :(
when i arrived in Frankfult, i was So surprised that Immigration Clearance was so EASY :)
outside of the airport, the bus was waiting for me and other passengers.
it was a GOOD/FUN start to into the NEW adventure in Deutschland for me! :)

Still Learning ;)

English is my secound language...
i'm CURIOUS about Learning Languages,
"WHY"? because it's SO FUN to me :)
but i'm SLOW :(
Too BAD and SAD sometimes that i have to Admit "it's POOR"
But as Long as i have a DESIRE to Learn, i SHOULD KEEP Going :)
(esp. One of my Best friends encouraged me so, which i'm GrateFUL for!)
So... I KEEP updating my-jorney on my-Blog in English!
HopeFULLy, people who check it out WILL understand Some and Better!
Thanks.

My Parents

i think that my parents are GOOD!!! they have some trials and problems sometimes... but, they Can Overcome the things Together and each time and i'm Really proud to have them as my parents :)
here's a funny story, my mom told me a few years ago(lol)
Before their first anniversary came... my dad thought that the 23rd is their Special day... so he got something and gave it to mom on that day(lol) she didn't know what was going on, so she asked him?!... then they realized that their Anniversary IS on the 24th of May!!! :D
it's fun to hear their stories sometimes, and i'm Grateful for their Examples and Efforts as parents.
This year, my family went to such a Nice French restaurant to celebrate their anniversary and also some family events together on the 23rd of May! ;)
We really EnJOYed the meal soo MUCH!!! :-)
it was very wonderful family night together, thanks to my family.
