We have arrived in Bianca's city.
And I already forgot what it was like from last time.
It's impossible to walk a hundred meters before a random neighbour strikes a conversation.
At some point Bianca needed to get her medicine and as a ninja she moved from tree to tree avoiding them just to get home in time. (she really needs her medicine).
Such a huge difference from the Netherlands where we just say a fast hello (or nothing).
But the most memorable event happened at the start.
We park the car close to her dad's house and get out.
Within a minute a neighbour (grandma) and granddaughter start talking to her.
They talk in an accent here and I have trouble following the conversation from the start.
But what I don't have trouble with is the huge black spot on the front teeth of the granddaughter.
It looked like a piece of bean skin covering the whole tooth.
It's mesmerising!
Bianca knows me and knows I'm about to say something about it because I would want someone to say something if I looked like I missed a front tooth.
So I get the 'the look'.
I know the look so I just stand there waiting for the conversation to end.
After 5 minutes they say there goodbye's and move on.
I turn to Bianca and say: "did you see that huge thing on her tooth?"
Bianca says, "yes".
So I ask her, why didn't you say anything?
"Because it's considered impolite".
.....eermm....what?
I'm baffled but I accept.
Different culture different rules I guess even though I won't understand this one.
Guess I'll be checking my teeth regularly in the mirror from now on!
