I had a little talk with Eric Declaro. He encouraged me to pursue taking the Foreign Service Exams. But I have just found out that the deadline was May 29 for this year's applications. Oh well, I might as well wait for another year. We also talked about some other stuff...
Eric: So, where do you want to be assigned if ever you become a Foreign Service Officer or a diplomat?
Yoshke: Germany... or France.
Eric: France, I understand. But Germany....
Yoshke: Why not? Have a problem with the Germans?
Eric: Oh, those racist, Nazi, holocaust yadda yadda...
Yoshke: Easy... easy. You sound more racist to me. That was Cretaceous Period you're talking about. There's such a thing as 'change', a'right? Did you know that after the Asian tsunami incident a couple of years ago, Germany donated more than 375 million euros to the affected nations namely Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India? That was unmatched by any other country and probably bigger than all the other donations combined. They also set up a early warning device. And besides, forget about the holocaust. They have also constructed a holocaust memorial in the heart of Berlin.
Eric: You know what, all those things, there is a word for it... I just forgot what it is... [pause] Oh! I remember!
Yoshke: What's the word?
Eric: GUILT.
Yoshke: Get outta here!
Oh, I really need a job now. I'm starting to rot. I can feel it. Waaaah!
