Saw this sign the other day.
"Steg-Haus
Braunschweig
Prost und Mahlzeit"
In German the words "Steak" and "Steg" may sound the same, with Steg being a landing stage.
Creative, funny, right?
When in German you say "Prost Mahlzeit" you don´t expect anything good. It stands for skepticism or disappointment.
The words by themselves, though, have a different meaning.
Prost stands for "cheers" and Mahlzeit simply is a warm meal.
Hence their "Prost UND (and) Mahlzeit" suggests good drinks and a yummy meal.
But the association, no?
Na, denn, Prost Mahlzeit!
I´d go in with very high expectations!
Wordplay can go wrong at times...
We´re back to summer-time now - wish we could just stay in it for good!
Aaaand... Perth 2019 is booked!

You'll have to try the food one day then. I like that deck over the river.
Already booked for Perth then, how nice!!
Yup, yesterday night we booked Singapore Airlines again - now I have to get our cabin again!
Yes, come summer we might give that restaurant a go :-)
How exciting Iris.. Which month in 2019? And you've got 25 dollars on your smart card 😊 You are going to find so many new things in Perth but thankfully some things stay the same. We went past Kingsway where you stay, looked in good shape, are there new owners I wonder?
Oh no, new owners???
I kinda don´t hope so, Grace, they were on a good way with the park!
Shortly before "Straya Day" we´ll arrive - very shortly, to be honest. And longer than Ingo actually can afford, too.
But... you have but one life, right?
When I eat I sure expect always good food and service.
Coffee is on
Well, actually true, too!
