Kapital 10 Kulture Text- Adrienne Bicek

"Dinner For Who?"
-Every New Years Eve everyone in Germany watches a short, black and white film in English about a lady and her butler.
- The butler acts as different guests that are dead
- The film has never been shown in the US
- I love the Sound of Music- I am sure Germans have heard of it a lot unlike the US not knowing about Dinner For Who

Sorry We're Closed
- I would not like stores being closed on Sunday because that is one of the few times I would be able to get my groceries especially if I needed something last minutely
- Only things you do on Sunday are eat, relax, and maybe go to a museum
