Trivial Pursuit in German!

The day after the art shows, I was invited round to a German friend's house for an afternoon of games. This turned out to be two Germans and three of us terribly useless English-type people (me from England, one from America and one from Aus). And the highlight? The game was in German!

Well anyone who's a regular player of Trivial Pursuit will know that even in English it's hard to get the hang of all the questions, so German was a challenge to say the least! At the 10th 'who was the third German foreign minister twice removed's cousin, living in a hole' type question or 'What German football player once did a backflip in honour of x, y and z', us English speaking people were pretty much just pretending we knew what was going on.

Thankfully we split into teams so the nice German people could give us all most of the answers! ;) However, I'm pleased to say that I DID know a couple of answers to the non-obscure questions and even managed to get my team a cheese! Wohooo!! :)

Anyway, I am feeling much less mopey and a whole lot more sane after the art shows/cocktails yesterday and games today and generally just spending time with such lovely people. Sometimes all you need is a bit of perspective!
