did i tell you that when i first arrived here i seemed to have forgotten how to drive a non-automatic car? when i started a car here for the first time i forgot to step on the -- what is the word for that? -- coupling/ clutch/ connector (?) and only stepped on the break as you do in in the USA. the result was that the engine started and just switched off again. -- and i was really surprised. i then looked majorly puzzled at my sister -- who burst into laughter. only then i understood what i did wrong. actually, i killed the motor several more time during the following drive, as i only stepped on the break when my sister wasn't reminding me in time...
i needed three days to re-learn it, i.e. to get on the same level of automaticity concerning the steps on the right treadles.

AND THEN??? How does it continue? This is the question children ask when they don't want you to stop reading to them. So this blog is just about how 'it' continues after I left California. I do not promise that the following will be any interesting, actually I can almost promise that it won't. But it's the best means I can think of to keep in touch with you all! So please, do use the comment function as much as you can and write me back!

Hey Christina,
I would love to comment on that, but I'm afraid of being hit by a punching bag falling from the sky.
Dear Somebody,
I promise, I won't throw that bag. Don't be afraid!
ah, this made me laugh. i don't think the people in the library appreciated the laughter that resulted from this.
but i did!
