Oh Sarcasm, How I Have Missed You!

The following conversation took place last night has I was studying.  I was listening to music trying to study. When my flatmate came in ( Note: He is a really nice, sweet guy he just happened to have caught me a particular smart-assy moment) and heard the German song that I was listening to (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11LzBOPtJVs) . Linguistic hilarity ensues.

Carston: Hello!
Me:  Hey, whats up? (Goes back to lip-syncing the song)
Carston: ( listen to the song and gets a puzzled look) What are you listening to?
Me: Arschgesicht  by the Bangbros ( Ass-Face in english, the whole song is strange, but its got a good beat)
Carston: Do you know what they are singing about?
Me: (Looking at him with a smile on my face) Nope I don't have a clue what they are saying even though I am a German major.
Carston: Okay well the chorus is about someone having a pretty ass-face and.....
Me: No....No Carston, I was being sarcastic.
Carston: I dont know this word in english.
Me: (I dont know Sarcastic in german) Well its when you say something but you mean the opposite.
Carston: (Puzzled look returns to face) So you were trying to tell me you do understand and your not a german major?
Me: No...no!!! Your right about the first part, the second part was to try to make my sarcasm more obvious!
Carston: Oh lol. I think I get it now....thanks
Me: (Get ready Big Bang Theory fans) Geez I think I need to hold up sarcasm sign every time I am joking.
Carston : (Laughs nervously) You dont need to do that. I know it now.
Me: (Slumps over the table in laughter) I was kidding!
Carston: Oh lol. I guess you got me.
Silence for about 5min.
Carston: (Looks at me and smiles) Thanks for the lesson in sarcasm, your going to be a great English teacher!
Me: Oh, thanks.
(Carston laughs and walks away)
Me: Wait............Was he being sarcastic????!??!?!

Video and Pictures of my temporary German home!

Here are some of the pictures of my beautiful home town! They are two main streets, that contain so many wondrous cobble stone ally-ways that its impossible to take them all in. Everyone of these streets manages to inspire/ touch you in some way. Its a town that prides its self on the fine arts! There are street artists/ dancers and singers that come out everyday to entertain the masses. There are cafes on every corner that once you sit down you never want to get up. As you sit, you hear the street performers do there song and dance. You get to watch the hustle and bustle of everyday life, while comfortably sipping your coffee. And just below you feet are little channels with clear glistening waters, which provide a cool little breeze by your feet. 

The city manages to combine the bustling, hectic, tourist filled modern city, with all the old world charm that Germany is known for.  

One of the beautiful streets I walk down everyday!

This is one of the most beautifully detailed churches I have ever seen. This is the Martins Church and the pictures do not do it justice. Its something you must see to believe! 

The Famous Freiburg Clock Tower!

So Freiburg as many, little foot-wide channels, that flow down almost every street. They were what used to be the irrigation system for Freiburg's settlers. Now the add to the stunning atmosphere! They also encourage provide an excellent play place for dogs and small children! 

This is one of the little water-ways in Freiburg. This one is guarded by a big stone Crocodile!  He has been there for over 100 years!
