The Germans are very honest, you know? They say what they think, and they mean what they say. (Very precise.) Very precise, very orderly. Too much order. (But very boring.) Boring? […] (Because of the tone.) Do you mean the language? (Yes.) I always say that. In English, we say, like “butterfly.” Aulacese (Vietnamese) say “con bướm.” In German is “Schmetterling.” (Yes.) “Schmetterling.” Stomachache is “Magenschmerz.” Sounds so shocking, but cute.

Germany is already too cold. If we go there (Denmark), we will die immediately. We'd rather buy a cemetery there. Then one can be liberated immediately. Free. We all go there and free ourselves immediately. No need of... Ah, that's a good idea too. If we buy there, we don't need to build a house, build no houses, no boat, no car. We don't need that either. We go there together with the bus and then we die together. All finished, very quickly. All worries, all problems are solved. That's a nice idea, too. For the people who want to go to Heaven right away, that is also very comfortable. So... (Italy.) Yes, fine. We also can, but in summer, it’s very uncomfortable.

OK, here is Klagenfurt. We are near there. (Lake Wörth.) Yes. Lake Wörth. Near Klagenfurt. And you can take an airplane to Slovenia, Ljubljana Airport, or you can take nearby the Zagreb, or here, Airport. No. It is here. Here. Here it’s also near the sea. Three or two hours, then you are in Italy. Man! Can also – Ljubljana. Don’t exaggerate! We should call that as lake shore only, not the ocean. If you have the ocean and lake, then what do we do in the lake-ocean? It is a very small lake, but it’s the warmest lake in Austria. We can look at it later, slowly. I don’t know. I also don’t like to go to Austria. It’s too much. Do you know why? It’s inland already. I like to live by the sea. I got the hotel, but I don’t go there. Just in case, backup plan, Plan B, and then I’m looking around here to see if there’s anything better. I’m very picky. I’ve looked for many months already, I don’t find anything. I don’t find anything yet. But maybe one day we’ll find, who knows? (Yes.) Yeah. Maybe.

(German. Speak German.) Yes, you can all understand English. (Yes.) So I said that maybe one day we will find a Center. Maybe. Who knows? (Yes.) Life is always full of surprises. (Yes.) Surprise. Ah yes, Duisburg. My God. Forget it. It looks beautiful. You get used to where you live. (Yes.) For you, Duisburg is the best. I can understand that. But... I would like so much to stay near the sea. Yes, near the sea. (Yes.) It's nicer. If you come, you can always relax or swim. But you have to know how to swim. Maybe you have to learn first. Don't wait until I buy a (meditation) Center and then comes, “I can't do this.” At the last minute. So you have to change the Center. Let’s go inland. Let’s buy another one, because they can't swim. (I can swim well.) Not you alone. Those ones, there. (I can also.) You can too? I can swim a bit. (I grew up by the sea too.) A little bit. That means I can’t swim very far. (Yes.) And if you sink, I can’t save you. That’s what it means. (We’ll go straight “Home.”) Ah, yes. That's nice too. Why not?

It's not easy to buy just like that. Buying is nice, but I don't know if you can come or what... If you live together for too long, you may end up “scratching” again. Never mind. Something will come. Whatever. Whatever. We will see. But I like it. I like having a place for you guys too. I like it too. Very much. (Master, maybe we can apply for the place here and then we can always wait a few months before we come here.) Yes. It's no problem. (And if we cannot use it, then we come…) No problem. No problem. We can still do a little... Swimming? But you cannot swim here. (They said only five or ten minutes.) Yes, by bus. We don't have that many buses. By walking. Is faster? By walking. Can do. Then we do not need to come back. If we go there, everyone is kaput on the beach. Nobody can swim and then we won't come back because we are so tired. Running. Maybe later. If not, then it's OK. (Yes.)

We have many small Centers. We can go here, or we can go to Austria. Right now I want to ask Austria if we can make a marquee as well. But I don't know if we have enough land. It's so small there. Because it's a health resort. Everybody has a small piece. (Yes.) We have it big, but not so big. We can also come in groups. First, we do it like the lottery. And then if I draw something… Who’s that? Oh, Germany, let’s just put that back. Ah, Austria! Or something. We can also do that, but it is so tiresome. Because sometimes German people want to come but can't. Or Germans are a lot and Austrians are very few. That's not nice either. OK, never mind.

I’m so tired. Talking German is so tiring. (Yes.) Why is the German language so cumbersome? (So difficult.) So difficult. (I don't find it difficult.) Of course you don't find it difficult. (What an answer.) I don't find Aulacese (Vietnamese) difficult either. Not difficult. Not at all. (In German, you have to pronounce all the letters.) Yes, and they always change. “Dem, der, die, das.” (In the past, when I learned German, and I didn't have breakfast in the morning, and I speak German. No one can understand me. You have to pronounce all letters.)

The Germans are very honest, you know? They say what they think, and they mean what they say. (Very precise.) Very precise, very orderly. Too much order. (But very boring.) Boring? You think so? Hey! (Hey!) There are also Germans sitting in the back. (I’m not scared.) Why are you bored? (Because of the tone.) Do you mean the language? (Yes.) I always say that. In English, we say, like “butterfly.” Aulacese (Vietnamese) say “con bướm.” In German is “Schmetterling.” (Yes.) “Schmetterling.” Stomachache is “Magenschmerz.” Sounds so shocking, but cute.

The German people are very nice. The men are very nice, women are very nice, too. (Yes.) They are also nice at heart. (Yes.) At heart, very nice, right? (Yes.) Very faithful, right? Gentlemen. Reliable, very reliable, too reliable. You cannot have everything. They are very reliable. That is true. I used to have a bank (account) in Thailand. I didn't have one yet and that was the first one. Because I always go abroad, and I don't have money. So they opened a bank account for me, so I have a credit card, so I can fill up. This bank had a manager, who is married to a Thai. All the female employees in this bank always said, “I will marry a German man.” Because this manager is like a gentleman to his wife. And all the employees always see this and “slurp...” “How good German men are! We all have to go to Germany and find a German husband.” They just say so, they won't go to Germany, because they are already married – too late.

So really, the German men are very nice? (Yes, Master, they are much better than the Asian men. We have heard so much that the Asian men beat their wives.) No, they do not beat, we (the women) beat them. (Quite the contrary!) Opposite. You have heard it wrongly. I'll tell you a joke, (Yes!) if I can remember. There was a man and a woman. They went to church to get married. After the blah, blah..., love your neighbor, and something like that, the priest said, “Now I pronounce you as man and woman.” And the man asked, “Then what were we before?” What were we before? Man and woman, husband and wife. But in German: “I pronounce you as man and woman.” The man asked, “Then what were we before?” Got it? (Yes.) That’s a German (joke). Good one, right? OK. It’s good now? Go. Enough, no?

Is there another group somewhere? (Yes.) Which one? (Poland. France. Slovenia.) Huh? (Slovenia and Poland.) OK. (Come to us.) No. We have no more space. Hallo, Gitta. It’s been a long time. We have laughed so such and ate well. OK, that’s for all of you. Go! (For Germany?) Yes, Germany. Take it, so that you go away. So that you go away. (Can we pick?) Yes. Anyone can take, it is OK. Don’t step on other people. Yes, it will be. If not enough, give me... Don’t worry, don’t worry. Don’t hurry. What now, you cannot... Please, slowly. (Thank You, Master, for the nice time.) You’re welcome. Yes, too bad we don't have so much time, but it’s still nice. Nice things don’t need so much time, right? OK. Come.

(Are You here tomorrow?) Yes, maybe. (I've learned the lesson: Actually, I owe You one euro, and it was in Munich. I don't know if You remember.) No. (It was only afterward that I knew it was You.) Yes? (Afterward.) Afterward. (You came out of the subway,) Yes? And I owe… (walked up to me and looked at me) Yes? (and said to me, “Give me one euro.” And I said, “This is not a poor woman.”) Yes? (My mind. Afterwards I understood that the mind is not right. That the mind cannot recognize the situation. It was completely different. Do You remember?) No. (OK, I thought maybe I still owed You one euro.) No need. OK.

(Get well soon!) Thank you. (I love You.) I love you too. (How is Your arm?) Yes, good. (I haven’t seen You for seven years already.) Really? (Yes.) We will see each other again, don't worry. OK, baby. Thank You. You’re welcome. Go ahead. My hand is tired already. OK. (Can I take some more for the people behind there?) Yeah, baby. (Thank You, Master.) No problem. Master, I love you so much. I love You so much, Master. Me too. Hey, watch out for your hand. (Yes.) Be careful! (Are You leaving tomorrow, Master?) Yeah, I am sure. (Yes.) Because I have many things to do. May You have a good trip, Master. Thank you. You, too. OK, baby. You got it? (Thank You from both.) Yes. There, here. So many. (From Berlin?) Yeah, from Berlin. (Thank You, Master, for everything.) I’m Berlinerin. You’re welcome, welcome for everything. Yeah, take it. Some more? Enough? Voilà! Happy? (Yes.) Satisfied? Are you happy? (Yes!) Good, me too.
