We
stopped at the Mall today to eat Chinese before dropping James off at the
Airport. (He’s starting Medical School on August 1st) After eating
Emily and I made a quick stop in the bathroom. We walked in and I couldn’t tell
if there was a line or not so I asked and one woman kept looking at me. It was
somewhat awkward having her watch me like a hawk, so I finally asked her how
she was. A conversation started immediately. She was a woman from California. She
asked the usual like “why are you here” and “when do you go home”, so we
returned the questions and quickly discovered that she was severally homesick.
Oddly enough the first thing she complained about was the food. (Sound familiar?) She said she had been
sick entire time. Obliviously she was ready to go home and was just looking to
speak to other Americans. I later realized she probably recognized my accent
and that’s why she was starring at me.
