We had the opportunity to meet fellow xangan Sighkey, who was in our hemisphere and dropped by. What fun!
We tried to provide exotic American experiences for her — we made her enchiladas, offered to take her to a kareoke bar or pool hall, drove her around the town in search of something really foreign looking — but at the end of the evening she just had to tell us that American stuff is not exotic.
Well, we tried. I think we all enjoyed ourselves anyway.
We now know the New Zealand terms “wagging” and “saveloy” (I’m guessing how to spell that), so we can be a bit exotic ourselves.
yay! another picture!!!
that is awesome…glad you finally met a xangan…a mission I will want to make a future of mine…
It was the most enjoyable day so far since I’ve been in the US (and that’s saying something seeing as how I have enjoyed my time here as it is). Am moving a little slowly this evening after pacing out about half the perimeter of the town walking yesterday (10 minutes from anywhere to anywhere – yeah right 🙂 ) and 8 hours sitting in planes and airports today.
Nothing wrong with your spelling.
I reiterate – exotic is nothing compared to good comapny, good food, lots of laughs and loony animals. There is no way you would have got me karaoke – ing, not in NZ and not in the US. Still it would have been worth it just to hear members of your family sing…
I thought is was a whole load of fun!
Love the picture, especially the smilies on the cloud and sun!
