(… on what happens when you aren’t from that country.)
This is what happens when you don’t know. When you’re in your home country, you know the holidays, the shopping days, the busy hours, but here, I still forget those things. I knew today was a Dominican Independence Day; I was even off of work, and yet it didn’t dawn on me until I arrived here that this place was going to be swamped. I battled some lady for a parking spot.
What happened?
I was waiting for a spot and she came from the other side to take it.
Did she get it?
No. I got it. We had a few words. Now she’s ahead of me on line.
