When I was just beginning to study

 i used to be driving
for the primary time alone by train from Klagenfurt to
Rome. I wanted to go to an aunt there. i used to be already sitting
longer alone during a compartment and was happy than in
Padua opened the door and a girl - admittedly
a pretty personable woman - me one
Asked question. I



 didn't understand what she said, but I did
it was immediately clear that she wanted to take a seat down. friendly
I smiled and said one among the few Italian ones
Words i used to be ready to do at the time: "Si", ie "yes". Immediately
the smile disappeared on her face and without one
another word she closed the door and went on. I
was disappointed and a touch bit angry - i used to be like that
repulsive?

It wasn't until years later that i noticed what had happened

At
people nearly always ask us: “Is the place
still free? ”if you would like to take a seat down. it's in Italy
the other way. People usually ask if there's space
"Occupato" is "occupied"!

Well, at the top of this trip i used to be sitting with three older ones
Italian gentlemen within the compartment. And it had been very funny:
We have hands and feet and help
entertaining my dictionary - about food
and soccer.

Two years ago I took part during a student exchange
participated with Japan. i used to be a guest for 2 weeks
with a really loving and nice family, to which I also belong
still in touch today, albeit I started directly 
I stepped into an enormous fat pot.

The first day I got there, I got it
Family showed their house and also one
beautiful little garden. i used to be totally thrilled
from this garden, have the door outside directly 
ripped open and ran through the garden and
touched one or the opposite plant.

At some point I noticed that the others
everyone was still standing within the house and that i was very funny
watched ... It later clothed that
this garden wasn't meant to frolic ,
but to seem at. And me with my running around
and jumping around, of course, have this place of rest and
Relaxation quite disrespectful from a Japanese perspective
treated ... i used to be really embarrassed!
