Am I crazy?
This morning I woke up to the sounds hockey being played on the Russian ESPN channel, as I had fallen asleep watching television at like 2:30am, due to being trapped in some weird time zone that actually is neither here nor there. That being said, oddly enough, my hotel room at the Frankfurt Grand Westin has ZERO channels in English. How is it that I go to Moscow and can watch 24 hours of Animal Planet in English, and come to Frankfurt, and the only thing decent on television is the Russian women's figure skating finals, on Russian ESPN, in Russian? Can someone please explain that crazy logic for me, because I just don't understand it.

Aimee, from my daily encounters with German mentality, being German is the best thing there is - so why bother with any other languages? When we landed in Franfurt last time at 9am, i ordered coffee in the airport, "American coffee". The waiter very promptly brought it to the table and let us know that that was "German coffee, better...)
that might also explain why, when I asked for a half café americano and a half heiße schocolade, the cafe person looked at me like I had two heads.
