\"Deer<\/a>

a deer snapped behind an old apartment i used to live in<\/p><\/div>\n

i was reading a trip report by a friend from my germany grad school days (she’s on a 10-weeker through north america) on the past couple weeks that took her from san francisco to banff, canada.<\/p>\n

in one part, she writes about how she saw a deer on her way back to the campsite from brushing her teeth:<\/p>\n

Ach, und vorgestern, als ich vom Z\u00e4hneputzen kam, sah ich von weitem eine riesige Hirsch<\/strong> [emphasis mine]<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

seeing that dreaded word again reminded me of a very unfortunate incident that took place 7 years ago — which still remember clearly. i had just recently moved to germany and my language skills were still quite shabby, yet i was so excited to have \u20ac1 scoops of gelato i pretty much wanted to go every day. there was a short line at my usual place and i used that time to rehearse in my head what to say.<\/p>\n

when it came out:<\/p>\n

ich h\u00e4tte gern eine kugel hirsch, bitte!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

what i said:<\/p>\n

i’d like a scoop of deer, please!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

so:\u00a0kirsch<\/em> = cherry, hirsch<\/em> = deer. i knew the difference but in the heat of the moment i got flustered and the wrong one slipped out. the poor man behind the counter: O_o. me, innocently: “O_O hm?” \u00a0he finally understood and i got my ice cream, but i will never make that mistake again!<\/p>\n

\"Between<\/a>

the gelato place is on the left (picture from a different time)<\/p><\/div>\n

p.s. my friend makes lovely observations about canada, like “canada is pretty much the optimal mix of american and european” and “canadians are very nice, but drive like italians.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
