That isn’t of its self a problem! At least in terms of getting a drink/food
long conversation might be tricky though surprising or not how much chat
one can have despite lack of a shared language!

About a month ago we were checking into a hotel at the edge of a

After leaving for a while to see some sights, we got a table at the

I suspect that's another of Krygowski's imaginative romps though his
need to be included in every conversation he come across.

How sad that the timid tricyclist lives a life of so few interesting
experiences.

Like I said, I like to get involved in the local culture of the places
I visit, and I don't need to make up stories so I can get involved in
other people's conversations.
