After a long day with German class in the morning and my midterm for my transatlantic relations class...I had to go to the dentist. I did NOT want to go. When I got there, she pretty much assumed that I needed a filling for one of my teeth and she had everything prepared. Then she asked me if I wanted novocaine (I truly hope it was novocaine because she just called it "spritz"). Do Germans like beer? Of course I wanted anything that would keep me from feeling pain, but I politely said yes. When it was setting in, she asked where I was from and I said California. After probing what county and city I was from (Orange County - Anaheim), my dentist who was pretty formal and to the point the last time I saw her, suddenly opened up and started telling me how much she loves the Real Housewives of Orange County and New York. And how she watches the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills illegally on her computer since Germany has strict copyright laws. When I told her that I had met Jeanne's sons (from OC), she went on to say how cute they are but that the oldest son is a bitch and complains all the time.
It was just a funny experience that reality television is so relatable worldwide, especially the Real Housewives! Also making my experience at the dentist not as horrible. I was also extremely amused when I saw that there is a Coke vending machine IN the dentist waiting room.
Everything, including cavities, go better with Coke!
