Portraits

I think some of the most interesting parts of being in a foreign country are often brief encounters with the people. I've decided to write some short descriptions of some of those experiences in-between the regular accounts of my experiences. Some of them are good, some surreal, some bad. Part of it is for me, just so I remember them. Part of it is to share beyond the broad overviews I usually give. I'll name those entries, "Portraits." Some of them I'll translate, some of them I won't, depending of how important the language was to my impressions of the person.
