Breakfast at Tiffany's

Yesterday evening and night I hung out with my new friends... really great people who have taken me in... who are my age, who love speaking English, and who laugh when I try to be funny. I like them a lot.

After watching a super sprint triathalon, we hung out by the river, and then went to their house where we had pizza, laško, and chocolate... and they translated Slovene jokes into English for me. They love jokes here... and for the second time, I was asked for some good American jokes... anyone have any? All that I have is the "interrupting starfish" knock knock joke, which was definitely not funny to them at all.

And of course there was a time when they taught me traditional Slovene folk songs, and they asked for American song requests and they looked up words in their English songbook... and people would shout out their favorites, and they would pass around the lyrics. Except for "Breakfast at Tiffany's"... that was the one song that everyone knew by heart. Because, why not?
