Chile? Ecuador?). Österreichcafé würde man auf Spanisch so schreiben. Die im Fenster gespiegelte Schrift kann ich nicht lesen. Ob das Äussere der Person aufschlussreich ist weis ich , nicht ich war noch nie dort. PS.:

By taking away the strangeness(let's call it starbuckification), you take away the all possible point of interest. If you take Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto" and subtract the blood, the gore, the animal cruelty, the nipples, the Mayan language and everything else that might not be understood, you're left with a really shit movie. So: I support the call for writing in German. We should write translations wherever demanded or deemed necessary, if anybody needs anything translated to French or Spanish, hit me up. But the original, the authentic version should be written in German, as the language in which a thought is conceived predetermines its' Geist. Eperanto is of course an acceptable alternative.
