Yes, another reference to the movie. But it is so appropriate! Tonight I was invited to eat dinner with a bunch of Erasmus students (Erasmus is the name of the European university student exchange program) from Spain, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Ireland, and then there were a couple French people as well. It was great! We all spoke French, though it was the native language for almost none of us, and we threw in words from our own languages and laughed at things that didn’t translate well - or that maybe did but just that WE didn’t translate them well. It was incredible - everyone brought their own plate and silverware and threw in a couple Euros, and we cooked and ate. It was amazing. I can’t even describe it. Such a mix of cultures and people and languages.
