Petr asked Patrik if he knew how old Karen was. Patrik didn't know and when Petr told him she had turned 50 Patrik couldn't believe it. "But she look like a young woman" "Yes American and Western Girls they do not get old" Then I told them that Anika and Tricia both turned 50 this year, they could not believe it. They said that women in the east who are 50 are sour and have no sense of humor. They said they think the life here is more beautiful so it keeps people young. I said it has to do with eating less baloney. The Eastern Europeans and Yang as well buy Wonder Bread, those instant noodles that are full of salt and tons of sausage. I know when I'm in Europe I eat sausage because it's fun and sort of foreign, but I would never think of substituting baloney for it. Petr was eating Wonder bread for breakfast yesterday when I came by. He asked me if I had ever had it. I said yes, but that I didn't eat it. He seemed surprised, "It is so sweet." I tried to explain that it was so sweet because sugar and salt were the main ingredients but it was an English - Chec thing again.
