Ha Ha Ha's and Starbucks

Today was a day of learning.

1 - Walking around Friedrichshein for half an hour does not mean that you will find the exact flavour of Häagen-Dazs that you are looking for.

2 - Louis XIV of France had all his teeth pulled out aged 23 (and lived to be 72) - according to my animated seminar tutor.

3 - I can be vaguely amusing in the German language! Hooray! When the very same seminar tutor discussed existentialism, (all of this, by the way, in a class on women in the middle ages - of which there was no mention) he proposed the possibility of there being a ghost in the room (of the friendly variety, named Casper). I promptly mentioned my name - and minor hilarity ensued.

4 – Your favourite radio DJ writing on your Facebook wall telling you he loves you is a really, really great feeling.

5 - Angela, my newly made friend, who works in Starbucks, will give you a bigger sized Chai Latte than you pay for - if you compliment her enough.

She does look young for her age, you see.
