Cultural meeting

I had such a funny experience last Thursday when going to school.
Everything went wrong that morning. Trains were delayed, didn't stop at the usual station and I had to go forth and back and went too far.....I was in such a bad mood when I sat down in the Oeresunds train.
A good looking and "younger-than-me" man came and sat just opposite me. At first he asked a simple question and after half a minute of silence he started talking, telling and chatting - TO ME - who never really liked talking to strangers. He was so friendly, so talkative and so nice that I found myself answering, asking and chatting along. He was a Norwegian paedagog, age 37, half Norwegian and half Brasillian, had his own judo club in Oslo and was on his way to see his girlfriend in Växjö.
This was really a cultural clash between this "ice cold" Danish woman and this openhearted half Brasillian warm hearted male. An experience to remember..... ;o))
