Why Is Good Digestion Important

Geography Geography is

Lüneburg Murat I asked where the rest is garbage in our apartment. He looked at me a little funny. "What do you mean by waste?"

I was amazed, had no idea what to say. Residual waste is a natural concept, right? Is there a German word mean? Maybe he just ripped me how this Type in Vienna, who did not know what a cash machine. Did not matter, I could explain it differently. "Uh, what does not belong to the yellow bag or compost or recycled paper?" Yes, that should have been clear. "Like what?"

shit. I wondered. What would be disgusting enough that Murat would also throw it for? "Spent handkerchiefs?" "Well, I just throw in the compost." Oh. I gave up. That week, I put all the used tissues in my bag.

Finally I found the waste bin in the bathroom. (At least no one complained that I floss pure throw for two months ... well ...) But I think our settings are different in that apartment a substantial cultural difference. In America, the rule is: "What you can buy at Wal-Mart, you can also throw in the trash." In Germany it is ... well ... different. The following lists tell what belongs where in the two countries. They correspond to decades of social research.

GERMANY:
glass - glass.
yellow bag - everything the useful and ubiquitous arrow symbol stands, ie, everything. If you can not find the sign, he overlooked it, and can clean throw the stuff anyway.
Compost - not packaging, but, all that the package was . Handkerchiefs are also included. If I have to spit, I spit in here also.
3rd category - All that neither belongs in the yellow bag still in the compost. Then "recycled" renamed.
waste - Uh ... maybe used condoms?

USA:
"recycling bin" - expired television directories, broken glass.
compost - Between October and November, old leaves.
waste - packaging, paper, food, shopping bags, batteries, Christmas trees.

why small occasional misunderstandings are hard to avoid.

The spring has come

Today we have the first real spring weather. I went shopping earlier, only a T-shirt was there, and I was warm.

course it rained against 14 Clock / thunder. Since then, there is again the sun and heat. I'm currently running, this time wearing only T-shirt (well ... and a pair of pants ... I hope this would have been obvious). It was pleasant. I am happy. Maybe we can use climate change in Niedersachsen well.

This is so beautiful, it almost makes me not mind that my iPod is not currently working. Since then
