Sometimes it’s hard to get going quickly because we meet such friendly people!
Also, someone was staying at this resort who had armed guards. Friendly armed guards, thank goodness.
ViajanteThat's so great. Silly question maybe but is there anywhere on your route where there may be a language barrier?
ViajanteWe have totally run into that already, probably because we are traveling way off the westerners beaten path. It’s amazing how we can communicate enough to get by!
ViajanteThis morning we stopped in the middle of an agricultural area on a new cement-pavement highway at a cement bus shelter that was randomly in the middle of nowhere so Eric could stretch his legs. It took about 2 minutes before one of the people periodically riding by on motorcycles and scooters turned around to come talk to us. He knew a handful of words of English, so we were having a fun time trying to chat. (The local language where we are right now is Telugu.). He tried calling someone who knows English to interpret, but they weren’t home.
ViajanteOk, a good example there! Its so neat how many curious and friendly people you have met, who take the time to visit instead of just staring as they go by like many (most?) of us would do here!
ViajanteExactly!! So many people want to know where we are from and what we do. People like to practice their English with us! People on motorcycles yell “Hello! Where are you from?” as they drive by us on the highway! 😜
ViajanteLove it! I suppose your answer depends on if they are zooming by or not!
ViajanteYes! Some people say “Selfie?” As they ride by us, and that means they wonder if we would pull over for a selfie with them. We don’t…
