Went for a surprise visit to Tony and Tina in Saarluis in their Irish Pub O'Dwyer and it happened to be karaoke night... wow. It also happened to be the graduation party of 10th graders (they just turned 16) and the party was on. Drinking age laws are as follows, 16 for beer and wine no problem, bars and restaurants. Smoking, 18.
OK, for all the bar keepers on Maui, tell me how many violations you can spot on these pictures...
Now, we also received a visit from the traveling "Handwerker" which belong to a "Zunft" and are on their way "aud der Walz". Basically these two fellows are a roofer and a cabinet maker (Handwerker). They belong to a professional community/organization (Zunft) and part of their training requires them to go traveling, find work for trade of acommodations and food and a small pay. This is a 3 year thing (auf der Walz), where they travel from place to place and have a network of hostels they can stay at. Of course they dont have money, so they ask at bars, with a little rhyming story what they are doing, for the hope to get a beer. These particular gentlemen belong to the "red" club of the organization. This tradition goes back more than 900 years.
