After
my trip to Berlin I came back to Bonn. On an afternoon in Autumn I
went out to walk along the Rhein River. After some kilometer river
walking I decided to drop by a nice coffee shop for a cup of coffee.
While I was sitting there, I overheard a couple´s conversation. The guy
staring at his girlfriend's eyes caressed her hand and whispered "Du
bist ein Goldstück" in her ear.
I
looked at my cup of coffee and noticed it had been already empty. I was
quiet for a while looking the Rhein river through the windows and then
whispered to myself; "what such a beautiful word to finish a
relatioship".
Yes, they had broken their relationship, I could read it in their eyes.
Today
while trying to write about my trip to Berlin and Weimer I could say
that I came into not only the Germany´s heart but also the history of
the two World Wars. I also came into the heart of the democracy,
liberty, and modernity. Needless to say I had visited the hometown of
my favorites philosophers, and besides, the hometown of my best friend.
This experience was really "ein Goldstück".
I
also say this, thinking about my relationship with German friends. The
first day that I learnt this word was when a couple was brokening their
relationship. Now I am using the same word not only to describe a good
relationship among friends, but also to mean how profitable was and this
is for my whole life.
After
my experienced living some months in Germany, I roundly can say that
German culture and its language is special for me... Germans are not
only my friends, they are friends!
