Yesterday we went home with the car. 2 French, 1 Austrian, 1 German and a Cambodian\/Vietnamese mix. So the conversation started in English &#8211; than everybody did speak German than everybody did speak French (no me&#8230;.). When does that happen back home? Than of course this girl works in finance, that guy in the oil biz, this girl in insurance, this girl is a general manager and so on and so on. They speak loads of languages and have loads of knowledge. And there are all friends of Delphine so they are filtered &#8211; which makes it nice for me. And to come back to why it does make a lot of sense &#8211; international companies usually do not send the idiots to a foreign country and pay them a lot of cash to do work.<br \/>\nAnd when you walk downtown &#8211; a mix of everything. So many languages and different faces. Nice for a change!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One strange thing &#8211; that makes a lot of sense on the other side &#8211; i meet so many intelligent people.
