Kitik’s Plight
November 20, 2008This is a story about a man named Kitik. His name is not really Kitik though. It is actually a little more complicated, but no one here remembers his real name. And so he is called Kitik and that’s just how it is.
Kitik comes from Thailand but lives in Germany. Sixteen years now he’s been busting his balls for a Thai family who own a restaurant and rent out the apartments above it. They once even owned a second restaurant, but then the Euro replaced the Deutsche Mark and business has never been the same since. The lady of the house spending more of her time in the casino than catering to her customers may have also had a hand in that. Either way, it doesn’t matter for this story, because even when they were the best of times, no one had told Kitik.

“The only way to access it is through the internet!”
No problem. You got it.
So far, so familiar.

Well, if you are still at the airport see if you can take a plane to Cartagena. The weather today is just amazing, and the sea is beautifully calm. 
Frau Halt Takes a Tenant (and regrets it)
November 6, 2008Frau Halt was baffled as to why the Lord above was putting her faith to the test like this. She’d been as duteous as ever in all her daily affairs. Time and again she’d been telling off kids feeding the ducks in the park even though numerous signs clearly forbade such an act. Last Sunday alone she had scouted, spotted and subsequently reported seven older gentlemen in blatant defiance of the smoking ban. And, as always, she had diligently guarded her PIN code every time she used a cash point, even when she was sure only CCTV cameras were watching.
