Reading (For Dummies)

My First German 'Scene'

Wow. I was hanging out with Ferri tonight, doing the usual. While riding my bike back, I went past a Polizei car not far from Strassburger Platz. There was a big dude looking through a black mercedes behind it. I rode on past, and two blocks later the black mercedes cut in front of me (on the sidewalk, mind you), and the big dude ran out and grabbed my arm, started shouting at me. So I told him I didn't speak german. We had an interesting conversation in English, he says, "You just went past that car back there." I said "what car?" He and his extremely large built, ahem, business associate said to forget it and got back inside. *whew*. But I took a very roundabout way to get home, just in case.

I probably don't want to know what they were doing...though I guess given the circumstances, I probably said the right f'ing thing, eh? :).
