Things I learned Saturday Night

Germans call cell phones – “Handy’s” and they think that it is common knowledge in other countries that people know to what they are referring

Germans think that Americans have no substance behind them…they are all surface-level airheads – a lot of other Europe countries probably agree

Desperados – a beer with tequila mixed in it = disgusting, don’t buy or drink

No matter how nice you are trying to be – don’t let anyone borrow your cell phone…even if a guy is asking you so he can call a taxi for his drunk ‘friend’ who cannot stand up – because they will inevitably walk off with it and leave you feeling very stupid

Celebrate the small victories while you can because you never know how long they will last (ref to: finally getting my cell phone activated and working only to have it stolen 10 hours later)

Germans have one year after high school as a mandatory military service year and then they can go to college. So if you ever meet a German who is in your grade but 1-2 yrs older than you, don’t judge, that is why.

Late night McDonald’s is just as delicious in Paris as it is in the States.

British accents are quite comforting.

I miss Irish accents.
