Week 10 in photos

On Saturday night I commented on one girl's head band 'Hey, that's a nice headband!' and then she gave it to me
I'm still walking up the hill (you can see it in the distance here). I like the gates they have at this 'park': one for the human and a litle one for the dog
Some of the orchids are still flowering too. They get hardly any water here, the soil doesn't have any nutrients but they seem to grow somehow. If you tried to grow them in your garden at home, you'd fail miserably.
This is what the Adelaide traffic control centre looks like. Lots of screens
Fritz, the crazy German guy who you've never heard of before is ALREADY exporting Christmas Stollen to Australia! Actually, the Adelaide City council seems a bit crazy too; they've already put up Christmas decorations in the city centre (American/Canadian translation: downtown)!
Last night I cooked a recipe from 'Jamies Ministry of Food'; chicken with prosciutto. It tasted really good, except for the fact that the ham was really salty! Next time: unsalty ham.
And that concludes today's blog post. Now I've got to finish my accounting theory assignment.....
Ahh I nearly forgot! It's time for a German lesson
-
Ich esse gern Stollen=I like to eat stollen
-
...wenn es Ihnen gerade passt=When it suits you. So you can say....'Sie koennen essen wenn es Ihnen gerade passt'??? (German people, please correct me if I am wrong
) And the impolite is 'Du kannst essen wenn es DIR gerade passt.????

Schutzengel= guardian angel So, 'Fahre nie schneller als dein Schutzengel fliegen kann'...which means 'Never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly'

("wann" = more emphasis to the time aspect)
"Sie koennen essen, wenn es Ihnen gerade passt."
Btw. I've seen the first Christmas things like Lebkuchen and Schokoladenweihnachtsmänner in stores around the end of September

Gemini2- Id I find myself in Dresden, I'll make sure to try some Stollen there
kirsten- When I was in Germany we got some from the Xmas market too. It was better than Fritz's stollen!

Airport Terminal? It started with an 'F'
I was talking about the Australian-to-Canadian translation. City centre = downtown. You're so multi-lingual
