If you study for a few weeks and pass a little test you may get to have morning coffee over a chat with a guy finishing his lunch outside of Pisa, Italy. He will call you by your first name, refer to you as his new friend, describe his home and the current temperature, in degrees centigrade, of course.
Croatia and Denmark were equally as chatty today.
My mornings lately are like walking onto an immense, multi-cultural plaza filled with smiles and good wishes.
