For some reason, a nice memory from when I was studying in Heidelberg popped into my head today: I once encountered a man playing the bagpipe in the middle of a field outside of the city. Funny enough, the German term for bagpipe, Dudelsack, is also among those that have migrated to other languages, so I decided to give it pride of place on my blog today. In Dutch, the bagpipe is called doedelzak and is pronounced almost exactly like the German original - it's just the "l" that is a little bit different.
