My Easter Holidays: Cars, Highways, Traffic Jams, Living in Germany, And the Opposite Sex
I have been in Germany for about four and a half days now, and I am tempted to stay here… It is just all too familiar and easy and different – but is it better? I can’t say. You can hardly compare it with my life in Kampala. My friends in Frankfurt live in a very nice apartment, play golf, think about buying convertibles and enjoy being bankers. If they want to enjoy the sun, they fly to the South and enjoy long weekends abroad. And if they want to go skiing they spent some days in the Alpes. Desireable?
Another friend, who lives in Munich, will buy a convertible car, which should either be a Mercedes Benz SLK 230 Compressor, a BMW Z3 or a Porsche Boxter. Fortunately, he could try out the SLK for two days and I had the chance to drive it, too. It is just amazing and incomparable to the cars I could drive in Kampala. Next Tuesday he will get the alternative – and his favourite: the Porsche Boxter.
And here, it makes sense to own such cars, because you can drive fast cars on our highways - if you are not stuck in traffic jams. I experienced both on Thursday. I was stuck in some traffic jams but as soon as they dissolved, I could drive home with 190-200 km/h… And I only had a Ford Fiesta TDCdi with only 66kw…
Germany has at least on advantage. If you are in a three or four star hotel or restaurant, the service is accordingly. Waiters are usually attentive, always knowing in advance what I would like to have, and the food was delicious.
And last but not least, it is just fun to go out with my friends and to be able to flirt with girls in my mother tongue. Unfortunately, this is similar to Kampala: It would just be a relationship with expiration date. ;-)
Nevertheless, tonight is the famous “Erwin Single Party”, which is organized by a local daily. Over the years it has become increasingly funny to go there. I have explained it with the women’s behaviour. The older they are the more they long for stable relationships and their expectations change. Well, or it is just that we lowered our expectations and actually appreciate “inner values” more than the outward appearance… Who knows? We are going to have fun!
