Its not always what you may think.
The other day Chrissy, Alisha and myself were going somewhere on the Metro and just laughing at things and acting pretty dumb. We get really hyper when we're together and laugh at everything we say. Being here for just a week, I've gotten used to the language barrier, and I got used to knowing that I could say most stuff and no one would understand me. Well, on the metro, laughing at things we were saying, we realized the next stop was ours. So Chrissy said something like, "This is us" and we started moving around so we could stand right next to the door. There was one guy that was standing next to us the whole time that was blocking the door. All the sudden the local guy goes in perfect English, barely an accent at all, "You guys getting off here?" It threw the three of us off so much that we were quiet for the rest of the ride. It had never occurred to us that someone could understand what we were saying. After we all reevaluated in our minds, we realized that we never said anything that was inappropriate. We got off the train and laughed forever. Lesson learned? You always need to watch what you're saying.
