"Learn the language. At least learn key phrases so that you can get help if you need it. I had trouble the first time I went to Europe because I didn't speak any French or British."
The sad part is, until those last two words, the advice makes fairly good sense.
The only real language-based embarrassment I can think of for Americans to get into in the British Isles (U.K. and Ireland) is to call a fanny pack by that name.
I just added two old high school friends on Facebook. Now I'm feeling all conflicty about it.
I had 2 pints of Ommegang Hennepin and a brie and apple crepe.
I'd be jealous, but I was at the Publick House last night where I had, among other things, a McChouffe and a St. Bernardus (sp?). They are teh yum. Also, Allagash Summer is very tasty as well. Had a pub plate for dinner which was also yummy (cheddar, aged gouda, sopresetta (sp?), a sort of beef proscuitto I've forgotten the name of, smoked marinated mushrooms, fried herbed polenta cubes, heirloom tomatos and a hunk of French bread - nom, nom, nom).
I always go there after I have to go to the Sleep Therapy center in Brighton. For some reason, I thought Jars was going to be here yesterday when I replied to the mail list, until I went back and double-checked the date. Since I don't have that to worry about, I will be at CBC next Thursday by 5 pm, I'm guessing.

I added some people I haven't ever been really close to in High School, but we all pretty much got along, and it's been awesome seeing how they're doing.
