Some things on a short post...
Was explaining today at Caritas House booth what BiGLTM was to crazy urbanized/Americanized Japanese girl while she told a guy that he didn't need so many condoms just for his right hand... Then talking about cultural differences with my Japanese tutor and telling her about the "o-cha" death metal/pop song... Bowing as I left... Talking then to Sri Lankan desk staff guy about chick peas and vegetables and foreign languages... Earlier to Indian girl about same languages... And handing condoms to Achim, and realizing that cross-culturally, established stereotypes get thrown out the window... Kiddo keeps popping in on the phone and speaking to me in a mash of German and Japanese...
If we were to win the lottery tonight I want to host an exchange student. Might as well. Plus I think I'd set a rather interesting cultural example...
Woo hoo internationalism.
