Idioms. They Don't Translate

Hallo.  As you may or may not know, I have spent the last two and a half weeks in Germany, and tomorrow we're going to Norway for a week.  Yup.  Being bilingual, I like to notice differences in sentence structure or specific words between English and German.  That didn't seem so nerdy in my head.  But anyways, I have realized that idioms.  Do.  Not.  Translate.  Like, if a foreigner came to good ole Murica, they would be genuinely perplexed if you said you had a cup of Joe for breakfast.

The Joys of International Flights

Hey y'all.  Yours truly is currently writing from Leverkusen, Germany.  Whoop whoop!  Do you know how I got here? A 4-hour flight, 5-hour layover, an 8-hour flight, and a 30-minute car ride.  It sucked.

So I figured most of us here have ridden in a plane before, even if it wasn't international.  And we can all relate to the joys and woes of airports and airplanes.  So, here are things I think during the adventure of getting from one place to another using this joyful method of transportation.

SURPRISE!

Okay guys.  In my last post, I talked about how this blog is going to be over, and I'll be switching to my other blog.  But.

I changed my mind.

I like this blog.  And I like you guys.  And I thought we'd keep the party where it's already at.  So yay!

JUST SAYIN' LIVES ON.

And I know that half of you will probably stop reading my blog, because you won't be writing your own blog and will forget about everyone else's blogs you used to stalk, but if you ever feel the need to visit some weird randomness, my blog will be waiting for you in this little corner of the blogosphere.

And since school is almost over, I thought I'd leave you with some pictures.
