Ordering my first Macca's meal

After a step aerobics class with Ingo's sister Karolin and her friend Sabrina, I was invited to go shopping with them on Saturday! YAY! Girl-time and shopping :D
I was a little bit nervous about going out without Ingo as my "translator-safety-net" but it turns out I didn't have to be worried at all :)
Everyone has been really good (and super patient!) with me. And I'm trying hard to just concentrate on understanding the gist of what's going on (as opposed to getting worked up over individual words that I don't know) Anyway, the girls were really good at "erklären auf Deutsch" (explaining in German) which means that I don't have to keep switching German-English-German - very stressful on the ole noggin!
The point of this post however is that when we arrived in Trier (the city closest to Hundheim for shopping and other city things) we decided to get something to eat.
You may think that ordering Macca's in another country is pretty straight forward (it is) and you may also be wondering the importance of a post such as this, but I find it extremely rewarding to have achieved SOMETHING relatively by myself ;) You see if Ingo had have been with me, he would have just gone up and ordered for both of us - terrible I know! I'm relying far too heavily on him at the moment! So I couldn't ask one of the girls to order for me (how pathetic would that look) so it was suck-it-up-Verity time, and up I went.
Again, it's super easy to order Macca's in any country, for one thing there are at least 1 or 2 burgers that will always have the same names, and if worst comes to worst you can just point. I asked for a combo (I can't remember which one now) and here is where I made my first mistake: the girl at the counter asked me a question, I didn't hear properly and flustered myself, just said yes, all was ok! Then came the food, and it was a large!
Tiny mistake, turns out the question was something like "do you want a large?" but I'm already eating waaaaaay too much, and not wanting to be wasteful tried my hardest to get all the fries down, not to mention the coke (why oh why is it sooo hard to drink more then 250ml of coke?! Probably a good thing!
Lesson learnt: Don't always say "Ja" You'll probably look less stupid if you just ask them to repeat the question - makes for a happier tummy all round ;)
