spend a year traveling |
the guy behind the counter - a guy from mexico or somewhere south of the border who works there occasionally - gives me a nod to have me come up to the register and buy my booze. the girl and mr. frichitavong walk off. i put my wine on the counter and he gives me a smile and says "muchas linguas." just then vlatka, who runs the german restaurant a across the street, comes in. i take my wine and put it into the pouch that already had half a bottle of whiskey in it and turned to leave. I said, "thank you! muchas gracias! danke schön!" and left. since then i've been consumed by the idea that i'd like to go somewhere and never hear the english language ever again for the rest of my life. |
