Stranger in a Strange (Deutsch)land

This blog is intended for all those other "Langzeit Ausländer" like me, who find themselves here in Germany and still can't seem to get a grip on what's going on around them. Life here is sometimes fascinating, eerie, unnerving and unbelievably funny. NOTE: if you are a new reader, please read this blog from the bottom up. That is, read the earliest post first, otherwise the other ones don't make sense. Thanks.

Good Things Still Happen

Last night I forgot to eat dinner. So around 10 p.m., pretty late, I went into a fast food pizza snack bar and ordered. The place was empty, I was the only customer. As I waited for the guy behind the counter to pack up my slices, I noticed the television in the corner was on.
Since I was out all evening and didn't watch the news, I asked, "Did you see anything about the miners in Chile getting rescued?"
He said, "Yeah, they rescued all of them."
"All of them! That's incredible!", I shouted, as I started walking out the door.
"Yes", he said, looking up with a wide smile on his face. "Good things still happen."
