Fenstersturz, actually.

(Electric) kettle would be the “right” word for Wasserkocher.

Brits and their weird non-compound-words.

Wasn’t that Reagan? I’m not in the US, so please take this as a genuine question. So far, I’ve heard nothing as bad about Clinton regarding economics.

Cheapest flights possible to the cheapest “vacation” island possible. Vacation as in

• drinking until you can’t even pronounce “hi”
• habitual disturbance of locals and other guests
• being fleeced by club owners and everyone else because you have “tourist” stamped on your forehead
• sleeping off the night by the pool and pre-game from midday to evening
• only eating (and drinking) the same stuff as at home, because fuck other cultures who don’t know how to make a kebab/Schnitzel/…
• coming back after 10 days of daze, hangovers and (optional) all-inclusive buffets

There’s probably the problem. Don’t ask a german “how are you”, they will interpret it as the start of a conversation, not a greeting.

A “Excuse me” or “Can we order please” is a way better way to initiate an order.
