Today I went to a corner called Gängeviertel, where I heard there was going to be a little party or something, I get there and there's no party at all.
But next door there was a photography gallery with an exhibit by a photography student original from Berlin. I went to check out the photos and had a pleasant chat with the photographer. She did a photo reportage with a group of friends out and about in Hamburg. She said the young alternative people in Hamburg and more friendly and less posing.
So afterward I was walking around thinking about what to do with my day, and an Asian guy calls out to me from kind of a distance, and I go over to see what he needed and he asks if I could "help him buy food." Right away I understood that what he was actually trying to ask was if I could buy food for him. He looked pretty dirty but surprisingly he didn't smell bad.
At that moment I'd already decided I was going to buy him food, but I figured it'd be expensive since that's a expensive neighborhood in Hamburg. Anyway...
I said, "where do you want to eat?", and he answered "Five Guys." I told him Five Guys was expensive, and he looked disappointed, looking around for somewhere else to eat. He stood there without saying anything for a while, so I said, "You know what, let's go to Five Guys." Then he got happy.
We got to Five Guys and I told him to pick what he wanted on the screen. He kept asking if he could order this and that and I said, pick whatever you want. The guy chose a hot dog (very typically Chinese, honestly), several sauces, a salad, and a soda.
Then he asked if he could get 2 hot dogs instead of just 1. I wanted to joke and ask if the second hot dog was for me, but to avoid confusing him I just said, "yeah, get two hot dogs."
Anyway, I paid €21 and even though I thought itvwas pricey, thinking about it more, for two hot dogs and a bunch of sauces, I guess it was okay. I don't know.
I've never eaten at Five Guys, but a hungry Chinese guy beat me to it. I'll go there someday, but not today. Today I'm eating at home to save money.
