Making new Friends

I forgot to talk about this in my Berlin post, but my favorite time there was when we became friends with these two Irish dudes at a bar one night. That night Camryn, Katie, Jarett, Jules, Isabelle Nate, and I all went out to the bars in hopes of having a good time. As soon as we get to the bar these two dudes our age let's call them Nick and Chase (because I truly don't remember their names but that's not the important part of the story) invite us over to sit with them at their table. At first, we were hectic but then we were like what the heck we came here to meet new people so let's meet new people. We get to talking and they are our age, go to school and are from Ireland. Chase lived in berlin and nick was coming to visit him that weekend. They were extremely cool and we ended up talking to them all night. They met in grade school and have been friends ever since. They told us what it was like living in Europe and how they grew up there, their school system was very different but similar in some of the social aspects. They told us about their perceptions of America and we told them about our perceptions of Europe. As the drinks kept coming our life stories kept flowing and we all had such a good time. At one point this very very very intoxicated man comes to sit at the table next to us, he was a singer at a church and started singing for us. He was trying to get us to buy him a drink but we weren't gonna contribute to that so we kindly went inside and kept the conversation going. At one point we began to teach Nick and Chase the slang and lingo we young adults use back in America and they thought it was the greatest thing in the world. It was really cool talking to them and getting to know what it was like being a young adult in Europe and how so many of them know so much about America yet most Americans don't know a lot about Europe, they definitely grew up more cultured than us and I have decided that that is something that I need to work on.
