Well, we purchased a wardrobe – and it’s not from Ikea. Though I almost hate to admit it, we went into a furniture store, found a bunch of wardrobes, identified a sales clerk, and said “Is there a sales clerk who speaks English that can help up.”
Can you imagine if someone went to a furniture store in the US and said (in German) that they needed help in German? What kind of response would they get. I can guarantee that they wouldn’t walk out happy a clam with a wardrobe that could be picked up in the middle of the following week.
About Me
- Erin
- Ridgewood, NJ, United States
- In the fall of 2007 my husband and I moved to Germany. After more than a year of traveling, eating, and living abroad, we were transferred back to the states. At the time of our return, I was 34 weeks pregnant. This is a true account of our re-assimilation, reverse culture shock, and impending adventure into parenthood.
A Southern Something
I don't think there are quite enough sausages in the South to maintain the "Wurst of the Week." Instead, I am replacing this sidebar feature with "A Southern Something." To start, I'd like to introduce you to chow chow. A pickled relish, chow chow can be made from any number of vegetables, including cabbage, onions, or green tomatoes.
