aside-I was in Madrid one night with a Chinese engineer doing some sightseeing. Neither of us spoke Spanish and our interpreter (an engineer from South America) had taken off to visit friends. We found a Chinese resturant that had menus in Spanish and English so I told him what I wanted in English. He told the waiter what I wanted in Mandarin and the waiter told the cook in Cantonese. We paid in Spanish and tiped them with dollars.

Every see that I Love Lucy episode where Lucy doesn't have any foreign money in France or wherever they were and she's at a restaurant and they arrest her? Ricky comes to bail her out and so the line goes:

Police ---> guy who speaks French and German ---> guy who speaks German and Dutch ----> guy who speaks Dutch and Spanish ---> Ricky, who translates for Lucy.

That was pretty funny.

Guess you have to see it.
