"Foreign Lands"

I recently completed 2 weeks on a trans-Canadian rail trip -- between Vancouver, BC and Halifax, NS. I had alot of crazy experiences due to the language barrier and my being deaf, with deaf speech!

At one town, I had to go potty realllly bad, could not find anyone to ask -- finally approached a group of Downs Syndrome people in the basement of a church and I used "universal" sign language -- to no avail, when I realized that these Down Syndrome kids knew only French! I am completely comfortable with DS people, but not when THEY know something I don't! Hee, hee!

'In the same town, in a small store selling religeous items, I tried to explain to the clerk that the Madonna nightlight was using the ASL sign for "love". The clerk looked confused and scared and scurried into a back room and had ANOTHER person come out, and that person was even more confused and freaked out -- and HE escaped and called out a 3rd person who could finally speak English! By then, my novelty lesson had lost it's "novelty" and my hub and I slunk out of the store defeated!

Alls well that ends well, I guess!
