Superstition

Meet Gunther. I don't know his real name, just that he's Austrian and Gunther seems appropriate.

We shared the bus ride to our guesthouse here in Melaka and he spent most of the trip insisting that Flemish and Dutch are absolutely NOT the same language. He should know, he's a native German speakers and he can understand Flemish but can't understand Dutch. So there.

Gunther left the guesthouse this morning because a cat kept walking past his room last night. When the same thing happened to him in Equador 8 years ago, there was an earthquake. If that's not proof enough, two years ago he was living with a Thai girlfriend. When she was there, he didn't sleep well. When she was out for the night, he slept like a baby. There you go.
