Re: Garçon, s'il vous plait! (none / 0)

Well I've met my share of people in odd ways/places ... for example a funny Aussie guy I met in a laundromat in Paris, or a future girlfriend on a skiing trip, mistaking her for someone else at night when both of us were drunk ;))

But good point. I actually just sort of stand there, flexing my muscles, grinning with vanity ... maybe I could ask "so where y'all from?"

I'm from Toulouse, actually.

Europeans think a hundred miles is a long way. Americans think a hundred years is a long time.

I was meaning that I could ask that when talking to people asking directions, but I'm happy to say hi to another Toulousain! And if you like rugby, we beat the Londoners today!!! Yeeeeeeeeha.
