Oh Ronna, Thank you for the wonder laugh about getting chicken.
Let me share another quick story. On one of our trips from Litomerice to Prague, I carefully told the clerk in broken Czech that I wanted a "two day ticket" for the metro. It took me a few seconds to realize that the man responded in perfect English that the cost would be 60 kc.
P.S. - I have heard that Costa Rico is beautiful and that my traveling adventures are not complete until I go there. Is that really true?
Hi Gretchen. So, this is about six degrees? Well, I also live in Louisville. My son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter live in Philadelphia. I have friends in NYC. But, I never worked in the fashion industry. However, I have traveled extensively and lived for a year in Litomerice, Czech Republic! I think we must certainly find some connections within six degrees.
I have had almost the same experience when we lived in the Czech Republic. I was actually looking for Q-tips. The difference - the shop assistant was friendly and helpful. How about going into the grocery and ordering sliced cheese and ham and getting the correct amount, sliced to the perfect thickness without ever speaking a word. Yet, the clerk and I were both laughing and enjoying each other's pantomime.
