...a taxi driver in Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico.

He was in the mood to chat, but had almost no English. My Spanish is fair (okay, that's generous, I'm discovering it's awful), but he really wanted to chat. So he started the game of "How many languages can you say 'Thank you' in?"

I got up to about seven or eight, and then he just CRUSHED me. I thought I'd get "exotic" and threw out Japanese and Portugese and then he slammed me with Chinese, and Russian, and Czech (?), and some useless Scandinavian language (kidding!), and then an Arabic schpeak, and then Korean and then.... I think he was up to about 18 or so before he dropped us off.

I felt small.
