Shut up. I was trying to be clever.
Blogging about my time in Spain with CIEE Sevilla Liberal Arts Program (Fall 2012).

UN MAS
Okay and at one point for some reason we got on the topic of German (we were in Puerto de Cuba - encuentro de intercambios) at this point. One of the Nachos was saying how he was trying to learn German because it will be useful/competitive in his field (engineering), but that it's an ugly language. SO OF COURSE THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME FOR ME TO TELL THE STORY OF LANGUAGE BUTTERFLIES. So I say in WONDERFUL SPANISH (not kidding, my spanish was pretty decent) - He oido que puede juzgar la belleza de una lengua por la palabra 'mariposa'. Entonces, en español, es 'mariposa', en Frances, es 'papillon', en Ingles, es 'butterfly', y en Aleman, es 'SCHMETTERLING'.
THEY LAUGHED AT THAT FOR SO LONG NO ONE CAN UNDERSTAND HOW PROUD I WAS OF MYSELF. I CAN UNDERSTAND. I WAS SO FREAKIN PROUD I COULD MAKE SPANIARDS LAUGH.
Also at one point they mentioned 'guiris' and I was like HEY SOMOS GUIRIS and they thought that was funny.
BUT THE SCHMETTERLING WAS THE BEST PART.
Also, I feel like this whole 'dos besos' thing is just AN INGENIOUS WAY TO KISS GUAPOS Y GUAPAS. Because, okay sure, I gave dos besos to the two girls like it was no big deal, but when I went to say goodbye to the boys, EVEN IF I MADE IT AWKWARD, THEY INSISTED - DOS BESOS!!!! .. which is fine. ;)
