German Mafia

Was geht Leute?
(This is german for "Whats up everyone?") I may as well speak a new ghetto-form of German while I'm here as a way to teach people about my hometown, Cincinnati. So, lots of things have happened since I last blogged. Last week I received a letter from the German mafia. There is a company that collects money from everyone each month according to how many tv's and radios they have. For every TV you own you have to pay about $20 a month. Radios are around $5. Enno has already registered his TV with the mafia so I don't have to pay anything. However, the letter was addressed to Herr Courtney Phillips. (In case anyone forgot, this means Mr. Courtney Phillips.) I have to give Enno's ID number and mark a box that says he is my partner. So now the German mafia believes we are life partners, which is cool with me. Apparently if you write down that you have no TVs or radios they will show up at your door and search your crib. This is why people call them the German mafia. Pretty wild stuff.
Love,
Courtney
