Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher

@kaia OK. It's often difficult to know.

@kaia Haha, Google translator wrote 'small-dick-havers' in Finnish about "People with tiny tails".

@kaia Are they girls or sissy boys?

@kaia 💡 Eine Birne.

@kaia I'm interested in German/Austrian differences. No Bundestag but Nationalrat. And there are no Fraktionen, but Klubs. And Klubobmann oder Klubobfrau.

And no Busfahrer but Buslenker.
No Januar but Jänner.

@kaia
In Finnish 'romanssi'.

@kaia Aber es gibt doch Söder und Merz.

@kaia That makes me think about the American sci-fi series "Fringe", 2008-13.

@kate
Wow, that's interesting, totally new for me.

@Tizen @kaia @kate

Deutsch ist eine Fremdsprache für mich, ich spreche also als ein unbeteiligter Beobachter, bin auch ein bisschen amüsiert.

@kaia Yeah, I've noticed. Instead of 'Hemd' they say 'Shirt', instead of 'Karte' they say 'Ticket'... And so on. Instead of 'Straßenbahn' 'Tram'. Of course 'Deal' instead of 'Vertrag' or 'Kontrakt'. So sad. 😢

@kaia A foreign tourist in China wanted to meet some chinese common people for talking about their everydaylife, and politics, too. So, he was brought to a chinese man and they talked.
Tourist: "Have you elections?"
Chinese: "Yes, evely Day!"

@kaia
CDU: Opas gegen links.

@kaia Me too 🍷🥂

@kaia Current mood

@kaia You should visit some old style Kneipe in the Harbour area. And of course Reeperbahn, although is it not anymore what it used to be.

@kaia Of course they were, because they were envious of all that what West Germans had. That really was outside of their own possibilities. Especially young Genoss'innen spent a lot of time with TV, dreaming about the western life style.

@kaia One of my favourite cities in Germany. First time 1986, last 2019. The North German atmosphere, totally different than Munich, which I love too.
In Hamburg you should see the Elbphilharmonie, very grazy as a building.
Gute Reise!
