The Germans had their Tarapunku and Plugs. They were called tuner and Shel. They were also popular, as well as ours. Confirmation of this - a monument to these two characters, which stands in the city of Cologne. In this you Oubida own eyes when you drive through the city. And besides, you'll see more original Tarapunku and Plugs, not talkative, and music. You go to a restaurant "Papa Joe's", which means "Papa Joe". And there you cheer the duo of musicians - one with an accordion, and another - with a pipe. When you see them, you can not help but smile. Although their eyes were burning and, although they move, when playing, but in reality it models, which are driven by primitive means of ventilation. And they represent that they are playing any music - German, French, American. In fact the music sounds from old records vynilovyh.

waitress this old German gashteta (so called Pitney institutions in Germany) could not understand my English, and suddenly said with a heavy accent, "Gavar na Russian." It turned out that her name Shurena and it was Georgian from Tbilisi. But a few years to study in Cologne, where he studied Spanish and Portuguese. Finance her studies Dad entrepreneur. And the restaurant she works part-time for pocket money. Said that among the waiters, there is also a Ukrainian, but during our visit was not his replacement.

seemed to me that the Spanish and Portuguese Shurena knows better than Russian, because in conversation she stopped several times, podiskivaya the right words and phrases. Although she and modern Georgian, but feels good in the German island of antiquity, and very smartly served us food and drinks and you could still smoke in Moscow hookah.

When you're here with this old, very well feel that in some quarters there is an ancient Gothic cathedral, which houses a golden reliquary of the Magi and other priceless treasures. For example, old video unit. I threw back one euro, and was able to twist the handle. Pen in motion pictures of girls in the old dance costumes. Each photo is a little different from the previous one. And when they were moving quickly, the impression that the dancers move in a frivolous dance.

And in a toilet on the door hung an old advertising a well-known pasta. There's a gentleman gives cape ladies and they both show his teeth with white smiles. True, the ads were not German, but rather an American. Then I understood why Americans have such white teeth. Because they are very strongly insist that they should be thoroughly cleaned.
