I’ve always wanted to see the world, you know?
It is a good place, the world.
I agree! But, I don’t know, I mean I always feel like I should learn the language first, before I go somewhere.
That makes sense.
Like, say you wanted to visit France, you’d want to speak French first, right? Just on principle.
Oui.
But I guess you speak French, huh?
Oui!
Still, I mean, am I just being silly?
No, I mean if someone came here and spoke no English and tried to get along…
Which they do.
How well does it work? How much does it annoy you?
Yeah, so why do it to someone else.
Or stop being annoyed by it.
You’d think that’d be easier but… no.
No. Still they are used to it.
Because they consider Americans dumb?
Sort of!
Well, but I’d like to do my part to change it.
By not going anywhere?
When you put it like that it doesn’t sound like much of a plan, does it?
Not really, no. Truth’s, Jacob, just go somewhere and stop being with the worriedness.
I should. I should, but then where? Ireland? France? Russia?
In Ireland you wouldn’t have translation problems.
Or worse ones, with the accents…
Possibly. Why not start small, go to Canada?
I’ve been to Canada, that doesn’t even really count as a different country. It’s just… you know, there.
Truth’s. Why not Japan?
That’s like asking a virgin if she wants to start with the buttsex and llamas, isn’t it?
You have many good points. You could go to London? Start simple.
I could.
And then day trip to France, and see how it treats you?
That’s not a half-bad plan, ‘Tashi.
Thank you, Jacob. Now remember, when you’re in France…
Yes?
Do not crawl onto the underside of the elevator to listen in to terrorists. Superman will not save you.
I know that!
But you considered seeing if you could, didn’t you?
Of course!
Well then, do not.
Fine, fine.
Jacob.
I said I wouldn’t. Probably won’t be any terrorists there anyway. So, no point in it.

Typo:No, I mean if someone came here and spoke no English and tired to get along…

Fixed, thanks.

Of course there’s going to be terrorists…
March 18th, 2010 on 12:52 pm
You think?
March 18th, 2010 on 1:42 pm
Of course Superman wouldn’t save you… he doesn’t have time to make overseas trips.
What superheros does France have anyways?

It was a reference to Superman II, which starts with Lois, the Eifel Tower and some terrorists…

But Jacobs already been to Denmark, and I’m guessing he didn’t know the language over here:P Maybe that’s what traumatised him! :-o
March 18th, 2010 on 9:44 pm
Maybe! Perhaps! Uhm. Could be? Hehehhe.
March 19th, 2010 on 9:52 am
heh, most people over here are decent at english and quite proud of it, so it probably wouldn’t be much of a problem:P Unless of course someone kept trying to make him say “rødgrød med fløde” which is completely impossible for anyone not danish to pronounce. That’s a joke we pull on pretty much all foreigners xD
