the route home passes a chicken place and a kebab restaurant and they both smell lovely.

@oblomov @GustavinoBevilacqua it really depends. i've crossed on red in germany a few times, but you have to be strategic...and obviously not in front of cops.

@Zambunny @oblomov i thought italians loved zipping around in their little fiats?

@oblomov yeah germany is strict on that but france is not; i cross on red in front of cops all the time.

@oblomov the pedestrian crossing is the most true of all of them. i took my (danish) partner to rome and i was like "ignore the crosswalks and the little walking man, just do your best". it was very difficult for him.

@oblomov i have not! would you mind sharing?

@oblomov oh yes i have and i struggle to think which is worse.

I don’t think the French know what a queue is.

good lord tom hiddleston has enormous hands.

i have had class in english, german and french today. my brain should be enormous by now.

@GustavinoBevilacqua it's too bad we get buried in suits

You can't bribe the door on your way to the sky

oops it’s my birthday today

the ONE conspiracy theory i believe is the lead poisoning because of paint/petrol causing all those serial killers in the 1960s-1980s in the usa. don't ask me why i believe it so much.

From a crime solving standpoint: it's becoming harder and harder to describe vehicles that are involved in crimes because they all pretty much look the same.

@GustavinoBevilacqua ah it's all about living in student housing. i've not paid for a rubbish bin in three years.

what do you mean i just got a bedside table and kitchen cabinet for free from a complete stranger (who's moving out of his flat)? along with a 50L bin?? right place, right time.

i made a successful 6-7 joke amongst my Gen Z classmates and you have no idea how cool i feel.

@GustavinoBevilacqua i have a danish driver's license, which italian police officers tell me is not valid identification when a police officer asks you for your ID (because you can't prove citizenship). quite annoying.

Today, getting my blood drawn, the secretary asks for my ID. I give her my German ID card.
Secretary: Were you born in Germany or...?
Me: The USA
Secretary: But this is a German ID.
Me: Yes, I'm German but was born in the USA.
The phlebotomist, later: What are you doing in France?!
Me: Studying law.
The phlebotomist: Very good.
