@hakupony Hi Haku
-
-
@hakupony Heating water to make some mate cocido or something, because I have to leave in 45 minutes or so.
-
@hakupony It's basically tea made out of yerba mate.
-
@pony Uuuuuh, tell me why you are so happy :)
-
@hakupony Oh I meant that it sounds like you must be happy ordering your first shirt and joining a group :) I am happy though.. Most because SBN entertains me.
-
@nerthos Ah, that's what I have as well :)
-
@hakupony The main difference is that mate uses water under the boiling point, and is barely left in the yerba, whilst mate cocido is made from boiling the yerba. One is to drink while doing something else or chatting, and the other is for breakfast or relaxing.
-
@pony Well, it is kinda cool to know more germans who enjoy MLP - if just for meetups and to get to know where to get blindbags. This is the shirt I ordered: http://www.getdigital.de/products/Flowing_Rainbow
-
@nerthos And if you boil the yerba, how does it affect it's effect on you (compared with mate)?
-
@hakupony It doesn't really have an effect, it just changes the taste.
-
@hakupony I mean, it only has an effect if you drink LOTS without being used to it, and in that case it just causes you to... use a toilet often.
-
@nerthos Ah, I see. Then I will try both soon and compare for myself :3
-
@minti hehe
-
@hakupony Nice. I didn't know people drinked it outside of south america. Maybe you'll be able to find those little bags, like the tea ones, for mate cocido.
-
@nerthos Most people don't. There is just this drink Club Mate which is rather popular among nerds. So I went to a tea shop and bought mate because I liked the nerd drink and wanted to give the original a try :3
-
@hakupony Oh, I see xD well, you could always ask someone who has family who travels between our countries.
-
@nerthos I don't know a single person from Southern America, so the influence is pretty one way...
-
@hakupony Well most of the German communities here were created in the first half of the XX century because off world wars. My great grandparent came here because of WW1. Still there are lots of schools who make student exchanges and stuff.
-
@nerthos If I was alive at that time, I would have left as well. About the student exchanges thing: we do that with everywhere. It's pretty funny - if you walk arount at the right time at my university, you feel like yo were in japan xD
-
@hakupony Lol. Here the German schools are pretty much the elite. I was going to attend to one, but too expensive.
-
@nerthos How about a student exchange program? Schools are for free over here. (which is one of the three things I like about Germany).
-
@hakupony There are state and private schools here. State ones are free. I'm not really interested in student exchanges now, but I'll probably go there some day as a turist.
