Words of Wisdom, from my host mother

I think I'm going to start making this a weekly post.

Tonight's dinner included some great ones. Read on, and wisen up; you'll be so enlightened:


"The Spanish have a very different perception of work than in the US. We don't take it so seriously. You just can't. It's because you don't know when you're going to die!"

"When you go to Germany, you need to go to the cathedral and light a prayer candle."

"The Holocaust was horrible. It can never happen again. You know, it could only happen because the Germans are such cold people. The Spanish, we are so fun, we love the sun, to dance, to have fun, but the Germans, no. And that's how the Holocaust could have happened."


I think I'm going to need to go on prescription pain killers.
