You've seen this picture before. I posted it when I was talking about my time in Vienna, Austria. Take special note of the two small glasses filled with a clear liquid. I assumed these were filled with liquid sweetener (they have such a thing in the US). I can assure you, that they are not. In Europe, each cup of coffee comes with a small glass of water. The water helps to cleanse the palate after drinking the coffee and prevents a coffee aftertaste. Therefore, you should not dump the entire contents into your coffee. . or people will look at you funny. You might also overfill the glass and spill coffee everywhere.
Some friends and I were talking about this the other day as we rode the tram home from class. Another guy on the trip said he had thought that the water was to wash the spoon prior to stirring the coffee. At least I'm 10% more smart than that kid :).

I am worried that you might have pneumonia or something really bad. You shouldn't have a cough and asthma syptoms for weeks. Go see the doctor again. Love,
Mom
Tell me you mean to put 10% more smart instead of 10% smarter.
You let something like landmines and people with guns stop you? Psssh...
