  5. Random story:
    One day at school a classmate was playing something on their computer. When I asked about the name of the game, their response sounded like this: "Vier Zwei" ("4 2" in German)
    What an odd title.
    It took me way longer than I’m willing to admit to realize what the misunderstanding was: The German word "vier" sounds pretty similar to English "fear". They meant "F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin".

  8. Journey back home.

    Good news: The train has WLAN.
    Bad news: It's around ten times slower than my regular mobile connection.

    But then again, no need to complain with a consistently fast mobile connection, I guess. #JustGermanThings
