"Verkaufen Sie Immobilien? (Do you sell real estate?)" asks the elderly lady sitting next to me in the bakery. I look up from my laptop. "So ein Viereck? Sie sehen so konzentriert aus. (One of those squares? You look so concentrated.)"
"Then I got so angry that, and you shouldn't imitate this, I gave him (heaving her arm) a blow in the face... " the grandmother tells her grandson.
"Wenn man versucht schnell zu sein, kommt so etwas dabei raus (When you try to be quick, something like that comes about)," the bakery lady tells the intern who is making sandwiches.
Looking through the library window I see that a new graffiti is sprayed on the wall outside. It says: "Lern nicht zu viel bro, man muss das Leben auch geniessen." (Don't learn too much bro, you also have to enjoy life.) Sitting inside the library, I think the opposite: Life without constant learning is no fun.
