The truth is I haven't had the opportunity to handle a drone, only in video games, so I suppose it must be quite easy to crash it, but it's nothing that after crashing about 60 drones you can't solve! ;)
Regarding the coffees, the truth is that it is very impressive to read your story, even more so, to be able to live the experience. According to me, Europeans in general are very hurt by the issue of the Second War and Germany. So much so that I tell you that on one occasion I made an analogy with someone telling him that he was a Nazi, and the Third World War almost broke out in the community. They take it very seriously, and to a certain point I understand it, but... you also have to turn the page with certain topics, let them go, right? I say to continue living and smiling in life and not stay stagnant.
How long did they stay in the cafe? I suppose several hours, until they could get up. I think I would have fallen asleep there on the couch, until the next day =D
don't visit Austria acting like a vampire. Apparently, there are vampire hunters here, hunting them down across Europe, especially in Serbia and Romania ;))
OMG hahahaha sometimes I romanticize this topic too much hahahaha
I think we were sitting for two hours, and yes, we couldn't move. We might have sat longer, but it was freezing! ;)
Oh no no, in Austria, this topic is still very sensitive. Not so much with the young people, some of them have a seriously dark sense of humor about it, and I never know whether to laugh or just look away. But for the older generation, it’s still very problematic.
I’m a nurse in freaking Austria, taking care of people who fought for Germany in WWII. Yes, Nazis... People in their right mind don’t want to talk about it. Only one man speaks openly about it. He's 96, still in good health, and was a pilot. He always tells me how sad it is that Russia and Yugoslavia aren’t part of Germany. Every time I enter his room, he salutes me. At first, it was super creepy, but he's such a nice guy. It's hard to imagine he killed so many people in Hitler's name. Not too long ago, another resident passed away, and we found a notebook where he wrote down his victims. That was a huge shock. Seeing those names... wow... Oh, and one woman with dementia always asks us where her father is, and when you ask his name, she always says Hiler. How am I supposed to react to that? And now, all this stuff is coming back... young people supporting these kinds of beliefs... it's crazy.
Oh please, hide your teeth when entering Austria, but you can show them openly in Romania! ;)
Yes, the younger people are, the less careful they are with such delicate issues, right? I don't know if they are things of the new generations, or maybe because at 56 years old I see things like an old man =).
About the 96-year-old man, let me tell you, he doesn't surprise me. I had a boss who was a colonel in WWII (Nazi) and the truth is he treated me with a lot of respect, with him I learned how to manage a large magazine distributor (he carried publications from Spain to all of Venezuela).
What you tell me about the lady who mentions Hitler is impressive, but people with dementia are dissociated, it is probably a mixture of memories of WWII that left them very marked, traumas that people retain. It is hard, especially because people in that condition are forgotten by their relatives. They need to be more human, when they mature and assimilate that they will soon be old, their point of view will change, they will realize that they have been stupid... but they still would have already hurt other people when they were young ...because they didn't want to treat them well.
There is a lot of empathy needed in the world. I'm happy because you have a lot, and you're a young woman, but I love the good vibes you emanate =D
And I'm sure if I get to Austria I won't show my fangs, but first I need a vampire to do me the favor of biting me, to become a vampire. I want to live a thousand years to travel and explore the world (I have no family or friends, so I don't really care much about seeing people die, that's why I ask to live thousands of years. I know it sounds harsh, but this must be seen from my perspective. angle).
Ooo, you are living in a country full of Nazi people(probably not anymore), they all fled to South America when the war ended. They killed so many people here and then made a new life on another continent and forgot all the bad things they did.
Late-stage dementia is really painful. People live in the past, thinking they are still young and asking for their parents. You must never say that it's not true and that they are demented. You always have to play along and try to change the subject after a few minutes. I read a lot of books because I was really interested in how to work with people who have such severe dementia. When I saw some workers trying to tell people that what they believed wasn't true, and they started crying, it was so hard for me. So, I really had to learn something. You shouldn't take away from someone who lives in the past and is still somehow happy by telling them it's all a lie.
As you said, relatives often forget about their own parents. You wouldn't believe how many people never receive visits from their relatives. One woman asks for her daughter daily, but her daughter told us she will never come to visit. When she was a little girl, her father abused her, and her mother didn't do anything, and she said she will never forget. When we called her to say her mother was dying and asked if she wanted to say goodbye, she just said, thank you, I won't come. I've seen a lot in this profession and heard so many stories.
Oh, I'm 32, and when I see kids 10 years younger than me, I say, those kids are nothing like we were, playing outside, not having computers, and then I always laugh. What the hell is wrong with me? I'm saying words that my parents always said to me!
So, if I find someone willing to bite you, I'm sending you a message. I'm more of a werewolf kind of type. ;)
