Vienna Brussels Passau Morning
an ordinary morning on this trip
6 30 am: i get up and need to prepare my city walk in Passau. i was too tired the day before and i am panicking a bit as my superiors said i scored bad on ´learning and discovery´.
7 am : i get to breakfast because i want to be the only one and avoid answering questions. i am number 2. number one was waiting for the restaurant to open
7 20 am: the info somehow gets back when i read it. i feel more comfortable. passau is an easy city to talk about
8 30: i join my colelagues who think that i just got up. they are alreadz preparing things for our german lesson.
8 40 someone comes ask me if she can see a doctor as her feet are swollen
8 43 someone asks if we can get him to the dentist
8 45 someone asks about the lost luggage he is stil missing.. it is day 3
8 49 someone asks where she can buy sigarettes (the black sheep)
8 50 someone asks about skipping lunch on the ship and what to do
8 52 someone asks if there will be lots of walking today (the black sheep)
8 53 ...
9 30 Arjan starts reading a funny thing in English about the German language
9 35 Rebecca starts teaching them Guten Morning and stuff and also learns them Bavarian slang
9 45 I take over and teach them the numbers and joke about the military German we laugh with in Flanders and how my father learned the word ´RAUS´.. people laugh
9 55 We play a first sketch where i am the tourist (all dressed like one) who enters a restaurant. Arjan is the waiter. I wait to be seated (not done here), i sit at a stammtisch (only for locals), i make the waiter sign (rude here), i order water and get sprankling water, i order beer and wurst and eat with my knife try to pay with visa etc... I really act american and show them what they do wrong.. people laugh
10 10 Second sketch: i am the american who needs to go to the toilet with all the obstacles. first go to Damen iso Herren, then i need to pay, again no change... people laugh loud when i release myself
10 20 we arrive in passau on time. people get ready
10 35 i start my walk on the Danube. Lots of things to talk about.. i love Passau. Danube, white gold = salt, Prince bishops, rivers Ilz and Inn, Hitler almost drawning, high water marks, etc.. I am on a roll... The weather is beautiful, people ask lots of questions but i can answer them all which makes me feel really comfortabel, i am talking so much that i forget about the organ concert at noon ni the Stephan s cathedral. i skip the city hall and sissy´s hotel...
noon: the organ concert is BORING. i love the church from the inside. baroque is heaven. but i hate the music. this is NOISE
