No tuba but bass guitar for me. asia -> africa Link to comment
Delta! 987 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Africa -> Continent. Mostly Americans are usually so surprised when they come to the continent for the first time and realise Africa is NOT a country, there are white people/caucasians, and we do NOT ride wild animals... 1 Link to comment

chattius 2,536 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 pangaea -> Marburg Alfred Wegener was a teacher at the nearby university there. His theory of continental drift was done while he taught at Marburg was only accepted decades after his death in 1930. My younger sister was in the student home in the Alfred Wegener Street while she studied at Marburg. Here worked Alfred Wegener. He did the theory of continental drift. He died because a change in weather made the propeller sledges useless and while using dogs to supply a forward camp it became obvious that some had to leave the camp for help because of not enough food. 1 Link to comment

chattius 2,536 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 wine -> Schorle Nearly all of my selfmade country wine (or however wine from a mix of a lot of fruits is called legally at your place) is used for marinading of meat, or for sauces, or for salade dressing, ... The rest is mainly drunk as Schorle at summer days. A Schorle is a mix of fruit juice or wine with same amount of sparkling Selterz water. Long tradition here since Selters mineral spring is just 20 miles away. 1 Link to comment

chattius 2,536 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 escape -> Völkerball Played it a lot at the summer camp for the kids. It rranslates as Nationball, often called German dodgeball, prisonball, ... Old game with a single(!) ball. Soldiers(players) who are hit are send to heaven(prison). If they can catch a ball there they are resurrected (or escape prison). Also there is a king. The king has to enter the hitzone when all soldiers are in heaven. The game needs quick turns because you can be hit from the field and the heaven. Link to comment
