'Romance' language. We had Spanish in the morning where we learnt that there more than one past tense, which when you think about it it's hard to guess what it could be. The basic is that they have a past tense for the past that won't happen again and a past tense for the past that could happen again. It's incredible and might be why it's a 'romance' language. Eg by saying i loved them you say either; I loved them but never again or I loved but I hope to love t...

I still haven't told them toilet paper goes in the bin next to the toilet..... which is fine until you think of the state a public toilet could get to!

We were ment to meet some friends for dinner but they were late back from their hike, so instead we cooked a horribl...

We got on the bus and picked up a few people before returning to where we started before 9:30. We waited while a few people got on and the bus nearly fills up. We then waited another 20minutes for one guy, this got very annoying on a hot bus. The wife and child kept saying 1 minute, but not hurrying or callin...
