re: #77 KGxvi

As an aside, I’m currently sitting in a coffee shop. Just heard someone say this about traveling:

“Well, if my visa in Germany expires do I have to go somewhere else? Like leave the European Union and go to like Norway?”

I stifled a chuckle, only to look up and see someone else doing the same. We both just smiled and shook our heads like “really, you heard that too, right?”

Luckily someone in that conversation pointed out that Norway is part of the EU

Waiting for the elevator in my building, with a visiting Brit, I ran into my neighbor (mid-50’s) and his very pretty girlfriend (20’s).

Girlfriend asks my friend, “that’s such a cute accent, where are you from?”
My friend: “London.”
Neighbor’s girlfriend. “Oh, I’ve heard of that. It’s near Amsterdam, right?”

Me, my friend and the neighbor all rolled our eyes; neighbor’s next girlfriend was both age-appropriate, and significantly smarter.
