"Sport" as the Germans say

While I was on my trip (by the way it was for a convention) I participated in a few... activities. All were legal and none involved alcohol, just to clarify. One morning presented the opportunity for Sport (as the Germans say it. And I kind of like it; I'm not going to lie). Options: Basketball tournament, Football (as in soccer) tournament, Volleyball tournament, or Zumba. The first two were just not happening. Not that there's anything wrong with these sports but I haven't played either one since gym class a number of years ago and... just no. The third option sounded fun minus the tournament part... I couldn't take the heat. So that left me with either Zumba or actually coming up with something creative (ha. Not happening). Thus the decision was made. Confession: I used to do Zumba at my gym (the fact that I had a gym membership may, in and of itself, be shocking to you. But hey now let's not judge). It was hilarious. But something about it being in German made it even better. Words cannot do it justice. I even got to test out my translating skills for another American there since I'm quite certain watching the girl on the stage wasn't enough.
"Cross. Cross. Cross... Turn... Left... Right." What can I say? I got mad German skills.

I'm not sayin'; I'm just sayin.'.
