Stadtsparkasse München doesn't sell mobile phone covers, they sell toy panthers. And the people are friendly and honor travelers' cheques. When Mom and Dad brought out their huge stack of American Expresses this morning, the teller called over the cashier, who called over another teller who speaks English, who told us to come back after lunch.I guess they needed time to buy party favors. All six of us played together for the rest of the afternoon. Everyone took turns with the pieces of paper: holding them up to the light, writing on them, making phone calls, squinting at the little figures... I've never seen anyone get so much entertainment from scraps of paper — and I know my scrap paper.
When the party was over, everybody shook hands and the tellers gave me this cute kitty. Buying stuff in a strange country isn't so hard.
