Weapons and the controlling, personal data taking state - here were are. Not only big cars, also these two prejudices seem to have a germ of truth.
Yesterday I went rock climbing with two Mexican neighbours. In the big parking area in front of the entrance of the sports center we were the only ones by bike. When we entered through the glass door, I was glad to hear that I would be safe inside. But crazy that such a sign is necessary!! Once inside, we were asked to fill in a form with our personal data in order to be allowed to use those sports facilities. Just one time wasn't enough, at the rock climbing section we had to do this again (and again we passed a glass door with a remarkable notice). And a third form needed to be signed when somebody explained us the rules of climbing.
Ufff, but finally we could start and it was a lot of fun :-) In fact, it was my first time of climbing at all and at the end, my arms just couldn't any more...
