Hello Stranger

One of the nicer things about being back here is making inane chitchat with strangers about nothing. Not that I am really the sort of person who likes to waffle endlessly with strangers, but I like the fact that when someone says something to me here I can understand them and can usually think of something funny or interesting or relevant, or polite at the very least, to respond with. Aah the luxury of not being a foreigner.
