Germans Only Laugh Twice a Year

Most people wake up to light shinning through the window, in the case of Elise and I, we wake up to a florescent orange glow coming through the window. Since there are no curtains in the bedroom we hung up two of the spare blankets in the window to block out the light in the morning in which conceals us in a tint of orange every morning. After rolling out of bed we made ourselves some toast and put on a pot of coffee to enjoy as we watched an episode of Family Guy our "Saturday morning cartoon". Our hair a mess and no make up on we finally felt at home. Afterward we got ready to head out to celebrate "The Karneval", the holiday for absolutely no reason except to give the Germans an excuse to party in the streets and party in the streets they do! From young baby to the seniors everybody dresses up and just have a good time, people drink, dance and sing in the streets. Germans really know how to have a good celebration. The parade was today, and I must say parades are not a thing you would usually catch me going to watch and if I did would get bored within the first 5 minutes but this one was exciting; everyone dressed up so intricately and people were cheering all around. Tomorrow is the last day of the celebration and so should be the most exciting, Elise and I are pumped. On our way home we stopped in at Vodafone since we needed to get cell phones if we are to apply for jobs, Casual Yet Business Turk started setting us up with a phone, he made many jokes during the process to attempt to make us laugh, we of course laugh to be polite. The Turk explained how he wouldn't recommend staying in Germany more than a year because it is boring and how Germans are grumpy people who only laugh twice a year, once at Christmas and Now, at The Karneval, he followed up this discussion on how he though indeed laughs all the time because he is not German. Elise and I just smiled and nodded, knowing inside that this was just crazy talk. We had one more thing that needed to be done before heading home which was stopping at the Penny Markt for our daily grocery shopping needs. As much as we love the Penny Markt, the selection is still limited because for some reason Germans feel no need for large Super Markets like back in Canada.  Confused on what to have for dinner, Elise and I finally agreed on Chicken Wings.... BAD MISTAKE.  The chicken wings look promising and smelt almost good as they came out of the oven  but the first bite was absolutely repulsive and unbearable. The chicken wings were quickly moved in a well deserved spot for them, the garbage.
I finally figured out the problem with the video on why it wouldn't upload, the size of the video, I was able to shrink the video so here it is:
