This month was pretty much the most intense traveling month so far. by the end of the first week of June i have exceeded my budget and now on reserved mode. Good thing i have groceries for the next 2 weeks or so... I went to the Mercedes Benz Museum in Stuttgart that was totally awesome, Rasttat, Karlsurhe and we went to Fun Forest in Kandel which was awesome too...but i will talk about them later.
Just now i was finishing up my dinner and went to the kitchen to clean up. I turned out that the Brazilian girls were baking a cake in the kitchen. Yeah, there is not only 1 Brazilian girl, but at least 3. It was a whole group of Brazilians. So, as they were talking in Portuguese, i just listened (i like to listen to languages i don't understand) to what they were saying and i was awakened by the word "manteiga" and it happened that there was a tub of margarine on the counter. So i asked them if they called the margarine "manteiga", they said yes. Its the word for butter actually but they call margarine "manteiga" too. So i told them in Malaysia it is called "Mentega" and they were quite surprised. I said we were once colonized by the Portuguese too. They were like , oh , ok....:P
So i think its safe to assume that the word "mentega" is from Portuguese....
