Multi-kulti

So now I've met all the neighbours except for the two above. On the ground floor we have the English-German couple, but where the English have been so long in Switzerland that she says "we see us". This is a common error amongst ze German-speaking people who in German say "wir sehen uns" and directly translate it to English at which time it becomes "we see us". I now have the permission to slap her when she does that. On the other side there is the Romanian couple who refused to take my advice and get a cat, and insist on having a baby. Pretty soon by the looks of it. However, they have promised me never ever to ask me to babysit so I guess it'll be all right. It seems anyway too late to impose my opinion on them. In the house behind we have two couples. One Swiss-Swiss and one Swiss-German. But it's all right too, one of them speaks my Scandinavian language and despite me protesting the others make me improve my German. This is the place where I'm going to spend the rest of my days. Only one more night...
