good music, but they did not seem to have any choir at all. Then I went thru the Zologisher [[Zoologisher]] Garten & walked back to my room thru the Thier Garten [[Thiergarten]].

All the store helpers here are pirates. Every time I have gone to a small store I have been swindled out of a few pfennigs at least. So now I make a trip to the large department stores when I wish to buy anything, where they have only one price. How do you suppose they know I am a foreigner? The only compliment my German has so far received came from a boy waiter in a caffe [[cafe]]. He asked if I was English or American & then brought me a German American [[illegible]] read but he was very young. I doubt if I can hear the celebrated ethical lecturer Dr. Paulia[[?]] this semester. He has about 250 in his class & as I came late I have to sit far back where I cannot hear more than one word in ten.

With Love,
Robert
