- A couple of weeks ago, I was stopped on the Tube and asked for autographs. The fans who came over thought I was Adele.
- When in Berlin, we found an authentic bakery about ½ km away from Charlottenberg. The woman tending to the bakery didn’t speak any English, so when my friend thought she was ordering a chili stuffed ravioli, she ended up getting a bowl of chili con carne soup
- Tonight, when walking back from the corner store, a group of Persian boys pulled up next to me and started blasting the Disney song “A Whole New World.”
- Cockney phrases. Cock and hen means ten and I’m Hank Marvin really means I’m starving. There are so many more, but those two in particular stand out to me.
- When I was trying to haggle for a better price in Camden Market, the vendor started raising his prices instead of dropping them to meet mine. Needless to say, I moved on to another stall.
- In Berlin, again, I witnessed a large-scale pillow fight in front of the Brandenburg Gate. No one knew how or why it had started, but by the time I got there, there were feathers everywhere.
- In Berlin our hotel had an uber eco-friendly shower. You had to keep pushing a button to keep the water going.
- Cinnamon. Tequila. Orange. Now, I’m a bartender, and I’ve seen a lot, but that totally blew my mind.
