Are you sure you've been in the bottle shop and not in the brothel ?;-)
"That's just weird. For three slabs, I could fly to Bali. Once in Bali, the money I save on Bintang and cigarettes could buy me a house within three years."
Yes indeed a mad world, a pack of ciggies here 4 €, 1 liter fuel 1,13€, picked somebody up on airport Munich in the morning, had still some time and went to the Kempinsky Hotel with the intention for a good breakfast, they were charging 40 € for their buffet, while you can have an air-ticket to London, Stockholm or elsewhere in Europe for 19 €!
Sometimes it takes a good sense of humour to bear this and sometimes it might need some good beers.
We Germans are not so famous for our humour in the world, but at least we are blessed with good beer ;-)
