Make your own world

Have you ever listened people talking some language you don't understand and imagine what they are saying? I do that a lot and I think it's one of the most amazing things to do abroad.

One time in train, I was sitting next to three men. Two of them were little bit older than me, one was at least 40 something. Everyone of them was dressed diferently and I wouldn't guessed that they were travelling together if I haven't seen them to share computer and water. I listened them talking, they didn't talk that much. It was more about body language.

Some point there was some officer, talking to them. Of course I didn't understand anything, but it seemed like the officer was interested about those men's bags. The officer was pointing the bags with light and saying something. It felt like he wanted to see what's inside.

Somehow those men manage to talk their way out and convince the officer that he doesn't need to see inside of them. The officer left and those men seemed much more relaxed after that.

All I could think was  I'm sitting next to drug dealers.

Love,

Ambivalent
