Today, Nancy and I went to the DMV (I don’t know what it’s called in Germany) to get new license plates for the Golf (the little car I’ll be driving). It was quite the process, similar yet a little different from the DMV at home. On our way to a shopping center one of the Polish workers called to say the oil and water in the Golf were mixing and so I wouldn’t be able to drive it until that gets fixed.
We ate chinese food at the little strip mall. I bought although Nancy looked at me weird. While we were eating, Mark called and she told him I had bought lunch. He seemed surprised and asked, “Really!?”
I asked Nancy why so many people take holiday in Thailand. She said its mostly because it is extremely cheap and it has a warm climate. However, she added that there is a lot of prostitution in Thailand, including very young girls whose parents force them to begin selling themselves at a very early age. It was so depressing to hear!
After lunch, we looked at some shoes and then went to Ikea where Nancy bought little couches for Gloria’s bedroom. Nancy was going to have the Polish workers put them together, but she and I started the project and ended up doing all of it ourselves! J They turned out really nice and match Gloria’s room perfectly!
We picked up the girls from their gym class and got to watch for a little bit. It looked like a lot of fun!
Helena wasn’t feeling well after school, so she had a lazy afternoon and ate some crackers.
Mark was describing some of their antique china and figurines and the company from which they are made: KCP (King’s China Productions) after Frederick the Great. Talking about him lead to talking about the masons, named after the Knights Templar, a group that developed more power than the Catholic Church so the Church tried to have the Knights exterminated. Mark said the two main goals of the Masons is to 1. Make sure no one is oppressed or under oppression from a king or government. Only God can tell someone to do something and 2. To aid society. They do this by collecting money to sponsor projects or other things, but the money is always given anonymously.
