Today in PP, the dentist came in. After explaining a few things she started calling us up one at a time while the rest of us did a worksheet she gave out. When she called us up, she smeared this stuff on our teeth and it would highlight the unwanted bacteria on our teeth. I had just eaten a bite of apple before school started because Merinda had put two kinds of apples in and I wanted to taste the difference. So I had what I called an embarrassing amount of gunk on my teeth compared to how much I had after I had brushed my teeth. It was a relief when it was time to go. I will need to keep track of when the dentist comes in the future!
A few days ago, my friend Simon invited me to his birthday next Saturday. So after school, Kyra took me to go get him a gift card for ten Euros (the Euro is German money). I thought we were done and were going to wait at the bus station until the bus came again but then Kyra took me by surprise and bought me an ice-cream! We sat at the park to eat them and when we were done, we still had enough time to visit the Abby that had closed about a year ago. Kyra and I just took a quick peak at the gardens and then left. We still had plenty of time to kill and so she gave me a short tour of a small part of Siegburg and the most indirect way to the train station to catch our bus there. I thought that was really nice of Kyra to show me a little bit of Siegburg, not to mention the ice-cream.
When we got on the bus and talked a little about the Abby and Siegburg, I guess the guy in front of us heard us talking in English because he turned around in his seat and said in a flat tone: "Hi, velcome to Germany. Ve are on a German bus going to ze bus station." And then he asked, "kannst Du Deutsch sprechen" Kyra said "Ja, ich kann" (yes I can), so he explained in German he was a comedian but then said "it was a joke" in English. He continued making funnier and funnier jokes through the bus ride, some about the bus driver's driving, some about his English, and even just saying that we were in Germany on a German bus, and surrounded by German people! It seemed like two seconds until the bus ride was over and I almost (if not almost, then I really was) reluctant to get off!
