Why Teaching English in Germany Is Fun

Me: Tell me about an experience you had that was disappointing.

Student: I have always wanted to ride an elephant, and I booked a trip to Sri Lanka. When I got to the airport, I found out that there was a giant tiramisu there and I couldn't go. 

Me: a giant tiramisu? (conjuring images of gigantic Italian confection)

Student: lots of water and people dying...

Me: yeah, you mean tsunami.
