We had the best tour guide. His name was Christain. Originally from Germany, Christain now lives in Paris. He speaks German, French, and English fluently. He also speaks some Italian and Russian. Not only is he intelligent, but he has a knack for saying the funniests things. Here are a few, with a few translations of his accent:
1.)"togever" when meaning together
2.)"whever" when meaning weather
3.)"fivty" when meaning five
4.)"French time is not like the metric system. You don't multiply it by 9." (An explanation after a group of us... including me... got lost in the American Cemetary.)
5.)"Tough shit for you." (After all our complaining.)
6.)"Five minute walk." (Well a Christain 5 minute walk... which is really like 20 minutes.)
7.)"It's chicken tonight." (For the third day in row.)
8.) "Say hi to Bruno!" (Bruno was the bus driver.) Back to Main Page
