zum

By anders pearson 22 Aug 2002

tuck is currently in new york for a brief period before heading back to china.

<p>met up with him, julie, and a random assortment of danish and german folk at a german bar called Zum on 7th and ave C tonight. </p>

<p>we had a couple enormous $10 beers. they were huge and came in a big stein about the size of my head that you pretty much needed two hands to lift. i don&#8217;t remember what the beer was called but it is apparently the official beer of Munich. </p>

<p>we learned how to drink and toast in danish. it goes like: &#8220;<span class="caps">SKOAL</span>!! [rising tone] <span class="caps">SKOAL</span>!! [falling tone] [then you sing a little song in danish] <span class="caps">SKOAL</span>!! [rising tone] <span class="caps">SKOAL</span>!! [falling tone] [yell something really complex in danish really fast. then you finally drink]&#8221;</p>

<p>too complicated for me.</p>

<p>got thoroughly rained on on the way home. quite pleasant.</p>
