funny how
Capetown, South Africa
Getting a phone line connected. Guy: “So you’re all good to go!”
Me: “Can I ask you a personal question? You have such a beautiful accent. What is your accent?”
Guy (laughs): “I’m in Capetown, South Africa. It’s very far away.”
Me: “Oh, well hi!” (Pause). “I am waving, but you can’t see me because the curve of the earth is in the way.”
Guy: “Maybe if I look out of the window…”
Me: “There’s too many tall buildings in between.”

I fondly remember one time in the train in Amsterdam, with two girls chatting full-speed for an hour in a mixture of – I presume – Afrikaans, English and perhaps more African sources, is my most beautiful language encounter.
But you went out with him so maybe he was clever after all…
