Four nationalities met at a cosy café at 5:00pm. Conversation was good, as every person had a well of stories to tell. The teacher told stories and anecdotes from his teaching-experiences in exotic places, and concluded that he preferred teaching new-beginners, as they tended to smile more. The political science student told her tale about finding her way around Germany one late night without having any language in common with the taxi-driver, much to the amusement of the rest. Tito informed the crowd about the origins of the term "gringo", something nobody knew from before. The curly lady didn't as much tell stories as she was offering smiles and making everybody feel good. The smoking lady was upset because she had failed her exam for the second time, and was thus quietly smoking one cigarette after another. Willow enjoyed being in the company of her new acquaintances and found inspiration in them.

You're friends with a smoker?! ;o) I'm glad we have a law against smoking in cafés here in Norway :o) Anyway. I'm glad you're making new friends and still having a good time... Enjoy your weekend! On Monday a more academic adventure is beginning for you :o)
Aquaintances. But if you refuse to make friends with smokers, you won't get any friends at all, as most everyone here is smoking. (No kidding.) However, we're getting the anti-smoking-law here in Spain as well starting on the 1st of January 2006. The best law ever invented, I'd say. :-)
