    A literal translation of the conversation that took place between me and the gorgeous dark-eyed Turkish boy working in the Turkish deli just now:

    Me: Hi! Can we have two pieces of that, please, to take-with?

    Gorgeous dark-eyed Turkish boy: Sure! Rightfully to take-with or simply for underway?

    Me: Oh, just for underway please. We can take it on the hand.

    Gorgeous dark-eyed Turkish boy: So not packed-in. Does it reach, like this?

    Shows me two paper napkins and stands the slices of cake on them.

    Me: Yes, that reaches well, thank you beautifully.

    Gorgeous dark-eyed Turkish boy: Two Euros please!

    Me: Beautiful thank you, little bye-bye!

    Gorgeous dark-eyed Turkish boy: Little bye-bye! A beautiful day still!

    Elaborate German courtesy plus cultured Turkish hospitality. It’s like a match made in Heaven, if Heaven were an 80s cruise ship with lairy pure wool carpets and a big band.
