An Englishman in Verona

Thursday, April 29, 2004

The strangest things happen when you live abroad. In Bolivia I once found
myself in a bar with a group of Englishmen. I was sitting at the bar, drinking a beer, when one of them came up to me and said, "I'm sorry, but I don't speak Spanish."

"That's OK," I said. "I don't speak English."
