At this point I am not even surprised, although these articles were far more random than usual, but I guess the common theme could be drinking. "'Dinner for Who?': Germany's New Year 'Procedure'" shows that Germans can make a drinking game out of anything. "Sorry, We're Closed: The Challenge of Spending Money in Germany" was informative of the need to stock up on booze before stores close early on Saturdays and aren't even open on Sundays. Finally, "Booze Brothers: Father's Day Debauchery in Deutschland" sounds like a Father's Day my own dad would enjoy a lot more. The first two articles are more informative and relatable to me than the third.
This summer I will remember when asked anything about Dinner for One to reply that I am aware of it and return the question asking if they are aware of The Sound of Music. I will get a lot of enjoyment out of stumping someone who tried to stump me. I might have to take the time to watch the show when I am not bogged down with homework and studying.
Stocking up one groceries is going to be the hardest thing for me this summer. I have gotten really good at knowing how long things last me over the past several months, but the act of actually going out and buying everything I need over a weekend is likely going to bite me in the butt. Although the article is from 2006 so I imagine the whole situation has improved over the last 8 years.
