Pepé Lem pew, the original french man!

Tuesdays are always my LONG day of classes. I have about 6hrs (minus the time that I'm late cause I miss the bus). Yes usually I miss my bus, but theres always another one that comes by in 15 min. so its nothing to serious ce n'est pas grave! as the french say. But which ever bus I take I always end up on the bus with some one from my class. So I've tried to say the old Hello thing, with no responce, so its come down to who evers on the bus from that class, just doesn't say anything to any body else. So then of course we have a bit of a walk from the bus stop to the class room. With a group of people that don't say a thing to each other. It's a little creepy, or is it just me. But once in the class everyone says hello to everyone, but its customary to do so when walking into a room. Well any ways... my points coming here I swear. So thursday is our last class of the year (yeah vaca). So me and a british friend in class decided to bring something to eat in our class and something tipical of our country. And since he's british of course he wanted to bring liquere, but I think the teacher didn't thing that was such a good Idea, expecially with all the muslims in my class. So we figured everyone in the class should bring stuff also. We have a wide variety of people, Japanise, British, Africans, Russians, and the US man himself, yours truely. So we're going around the class telling everyone about this. So this is french class, people are taking this class cause they don't speak french, but french is the closest language we all have in common. So this was a crazy 15 minutes trying to explain to people, whom some are just learning an entirely new alphabet, our grand idea. But trying to explain it to these people, we relized how nice they actually where, and they weren't just being a bunch of jerks not wanting to say hello to me on the bus. I'm not holding a grudge! They where just shy about speaking a language that they are just learning. I can relate to this experience. Sometimes is just embarassing not being able to comunicate well. So now that we got our message through, i'm thinking not a lot of people understood, since alot of people just smiled at us in the middle of our conversation and said ok see ya thurday, "hey thats thursday with a cake buddy (or a shnitsle), or else" but it will be nice if some did, I'd like to enjoy some of their culture. Culture through food, thats the best way.
