"This is a f*** s*** town! Yes?"

I love meeting people from other countries who speak almost no English .... save for what they see on movies and hear on Tupac albums.

Case in point: Last night, after arriving in Kaiserslautern at 10:30 p.m., mas o menos, Drew and I started the hike to our hotel.

We got lost.

After about an hour of walking in the dark, trying to figure out how to find the needle in the haystack, we see an RV approaching, and stepped into the middle of the road to stop the driver for directions.

He had gotten lost, too.

So we organized a barter: They give us a ride to our hotel, we give them our map so they can get to theirs. Deal.

Here is a rough transcript of our conversation:

Italy guy: "Is there party in dis town?"

Me: "Nah, man. It's pretty dead."

Italy guy: "This is a f*** s*** town! Yes?"

Me: "Yeah man! F***! S***! Good!"

Italian guys: (laugther) "Yes!"
