Go out on a limb.

I met a German speaking woman today in the bohemian coffeehouse, and we had an entire conversation in German, give or take a few phrases. Ironically enough, she was from Hamburg! My German was slanderously shoddy because of its impromptu nature, and I didn’t originally address her in the formal ‘Sie’ tense (which is technically not polite when meeting an adult, but I am so used to using Du!) Despite plenty of grammatical error on my part, finally speaking with a native after six months, was invigorating! She was very accomidating and overlooked the mistake in tense. Scraping together roughly four years of classroom German and being able to form coherent sentences; I can’t explain it! It was the highlight of my day=) Also on an odd note, apparently many German-speaking people go there; absolutely fantastic! Great coffee, or tea, or CHAI TEA, and stimulating conversation. Another amazing day, to add to an already amazing week=) Picking up FOUR rolls of film tomorrow, finishing up the Imprint; Thundercats are go!
Ich vermisse es, soviel… Ich vermisse mein Heim fort von Heim, Hamburg! Ich duerfte eine Rückkehr machen=)
