    Putin encore une autre language, c`est trop pour moi- on a deja des forums pour ca:)

    I`d prefer french but there is no good hippie forum neither in french nor in german so I have to get along here if I want to write to many hippies...but dont worry I wont stay too long:)

    Le yeah but Odon likes being awkward. Plus if he went in those forums he'd get lost and never get back out. He's a simple type.

    This isn't about me. I know you can't help thinking about me. But, seriously, it isn't about me.

    We all need to take a lesson from children. They manage to do this without thought and preconceived notions.

    It is rather a wonderful thing to watch. :)

    Swearing is universal. It just takes the right facial expressions, body language and hand movements and words become obsolete.

    I've been in Cambodia for three weeks. And I dont speak but a few words of Khmer. Which I learned today is pronounced "khmai"

    I'm in a sorta tourist town working at a bar with an entirely Khmer staff. I've communicated most small things very easily. But when I think it's a good idea to change something, nobody understands. :D

    I love it!

    I've been in those kinds of situations with people from various countries. Even though we didn't know each other's language, things went along ok for the most part.

    Even better is when someone is ticked off and cussing using scraps of words from two or more different languages.
