One time this man approached me in a bar talking in Spanish. So I assumed he was Spanish and we started speaking, we had a whole ass conversation and at some point he was like. So what part of Spain are you from? And I said well Iβm Italian actually. What part of Spain are you from? And he was like. Iβm Greek.
One time I was in Argentina and I was so tired of trying to speak Spanish because Iβm not very good at it lmao so I broke into exasperated English and the retail seller girl quickly understood me and engaged me in conversation. We talked for a while, she introduced me to a makeup brand, and then I decided to buy it. While she was packaging the purchase, she asked me if I were from the US or perhaps the UK and I just said βoh no Iβm Brazilian hahahβ and she looked me straight in the eyes and said, in clear Portuguese, βIβm Brazilian tooβ
When my dad went to China on a work trip, his Mandarin speaking wasnβt great but his listening was fine (his first language is Cantonese) and he encountered a German guy who had moved to China to work. My dad knew how to speak German because he studied it in university (but wasnβt great when it came to listening to new vocab he hadnβt studied before), and the German guy knew Mandarin because he lived and worked in China, so they had a conversation where my dad spoke to the German guy in German and the guy responded in Mandarin. Iβm sure it confused a lot of their coworkers who just saw the Asian guy speaking German and the white guy speaking Mandarin.
Some years ago, I worked for a manufacturing company that had a service depot in China.Β One of the engineers from the main office here in the US spent most of his time at the depot.Β The problem was that he didnβt speak *any* of the various Chinese languages, and no one at the depot spoke any English. They all, however, spoke Spanish.

America the beautiful
look at all my weird nature related 70s info pamphlets
imagine explaning sleep to an alien
isnt the world so beautiful....all the little ways we're immortal...71 million years later they still sleep like you
Sometimes I put my face up against my dog while he's sleeping to feel his little lungs expand and his little heart beat and I am struck by the beauty of of life and the miracle of nature to evolve for thousands of years just to create one little guy and put him in my house
