its pretty strange and humbling to move to a country where you dont know the language. when i moved to germany i spoke literally zero german.
it is humbling because one has to admit often and publicly that they don't know or don't understand. that can be scary!
@phryk california, and yes i did. all the types!
@eribloodlust Any ultimate recommendations? Also, wasn't the vanilla ice-cream in coke thing from cali, too?
@phryk lol i dunno abt the 'coke float' being a ca thing? recs on ca food?
TACOS
BURRITOS
PAPUSAS
CALDO
RAMEN
SUSHI
DIMSUM (chinese dumplings)
PHO
BIBIMBAP
The best food in ca is either really greasy latin american food or really nongreasy asian food. ok even the 'greasy chinese food takeout' is fucking incredible by east coast standards.
re: white ppl food
avocado toast tbqh, that shit got me thru uni
@eribloodlust All these culinary cultures have been around in CA long enough for them to become distinctively californian? o_O
language thread
people say 'in berlin everyone speaks english' but my friend you should be sceptical of that statement.
that statement basically shows what class of society the speaker is in. no working class people often dont. today i was talking to a syrian refugee in german because it was easier for him than english. old former east germans often speak russian over english.
i know people who only speak english in berlin, walk in to a place and speak to everyone like they assume the person speaks english and im actually embarrassed to be seen with those ppl.
@eribloodlust So where'd you live before and more importantly, did you bring any tasty recipes?
