In Dresden by Jo Dew-Jones
In Dresden
Wir haben die Vietnamisische essen gegessen
Und haben das Bier und das The und die Kirsch* getrunken
Und haben das Neustadt un has Altstadt gesuchen
Und haben in einen Hostel geschlafen.
Das war gut. Ja.
Rough translation:
In Dresden
We eat Vietnamese food
And drank the beer
And the Kirsch*
And found the new city has old town feel
And slept in a Hostel.
That was good. Yes.
*Kirschwasser, German for “cherry water”, Kirsch is a clear, colourless fruit brandy
traditionally made from double-distillation of morello cherries, a dark-coloured cultivar of the sour cherry. However, the beverage is now also made from other kinds of cherries. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirsch
