I just assumed that, what with your exotic 'hellos', you knew other languages than French and English!<br /><br />Vix, I know nothing about art either! Well, I suppose I know what I think it beautiful and what isn't, but 'art' seems to have such a dodgy definition. We really went for the free wine and to see our friend's work, so I was surprised that I liked so much of it! :)Sangu Mandannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09464061265952789628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431434319456176027.post-33942427814039533052010-06-16T15:53:00.368+01:002010-06-16T15:53:00.368+01:00I get ridiculously excited when the sun's out ...I get ridiculously excited when the sun's out in the UK, I work in the garden and have wine on the lawn.

It is doable. : j 3 months out of twelve sounds like an excellent way of staying connected. <br /><br />If you don't mind, I'll recomment what i first answered when you asked that question since you seem to have missed it in the flurry of things you've had going on. <br /><br />"LoL, two languages isn't a big deal. There countries full of people for whom that (at least) is the norm. <br />If you take all the fragments of languages in which I barely know how to ask for food in a restaurant... I 'd say I know about seven-eighths of one language; but don't tell my employers though, they think I'm fully bilingual. ; j"<br /><br />The "hello" thing is just a game I play, at first I was going from memory, but then I ran out at about 12 or so... So beyond that I went online for more exotic languages. I can't claim credit for knowing them. I'm hoping that if I keep at it, even I will eventually learn new ways of saying hello.Avohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808959359850145003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431434319456176027.post-46292057030297240802010-06-16T15:24:14.512+01:002010-06-16T15:24:14.512+01:00Thanks, Stina!

Sort of. I did French as a GCSE, but I've forgotten most of it (never knew it that well to start off, anyway) - and I also speak/read a fair bit of Kannada, which is the local language of Bangalore (though as almost everyone speaks English anyway, I rarely find myself using it). Languages have never been my thing :)<br /><br />About going back, I do it once a year, during the summer (nine months here for uni, three months back), but I reckon that will change now that I'm graduating and hoping to settle down. I'd <i>like</i> to still go back at least once a year, but I'll have to see if that works out!<br /><br />Which reminds me, how many languages do <i>you</i> speak? Because you seem to know 'hello' in just about every single one! :)Sangu Mandannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09464061265952789628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431434319456176027.post-59662593900514707582010-06-16T15:16:46.684+01:002010-06-16T15:16:46.684+01:00I have similar feelings about the "cold"...I have similar feelings about the "cold" weather we get around these latitudes. I think of Hokkaido and think, huh, what a mild winter's morn. ; j<br /><br />That reminds me, I've been meaning to ask, (if you don't mind my asking that is) how many languages do you speak? And how often do you go back?Avohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15808959359850145003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431434319456176027.post-57277668535362356402010-06-16T15:11:27.605+01:002010-06-16T15:11:27.605+01:00Darn.

Maybe I should keep it and call it regional flavour? :)<br /><br />I often find that when the weather's good I don't do anything special either! I think it's because I grew up in a hot climate, so while it's exciting when it's warm in England, I often just think 'well, it's not like I'll never see the sun again - there's plenty in Bangalore!'Sangu Mandannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09464061265952789628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8431434319456176027.post-70457994337849851442010-06-16T15:01:14.003+01:002010-06-16T15:01:14.003+01:00Wind in your 'air?
