Keyboard

I forgot to bring the right adapter for my computer! Argh! I brought a two-pronged adapter and I need a three-pronged one. Oh well. I'll just make fewer postings than I planned on.

Please understand that anything I post which sounds like a complaint is not really a complaint. I am simply identifying differences in the culture or day-to-day experiences between Germany and Provo.

First: The keyboard is different! The "Y" and the "Z" are switched. It must have to do with how often each of those keys is used in the respective language. The German alphabet also has a few more characters (for example: ö, ü, and ß), therefore the return key and uppercase keys have been reduced in size to make room for the addition keys. As I type, I have to watch my fingers to make sure that I type the correct keys. It takes a lot longer, but I am getting used to it. If I make mistakes, please bear with me and try to figure out what I am writing. It could be like a code. Here is an example: <#Todaz
