90. Visiting other Countries

The hardest think about visiting other countries is not saying "Mulțumesc" which is "Thank you" in Romanian. When I was in Israel, a large percentage of the population would speak in English. So when ever I ordered food I ordered in English, but the majority of the time I would say mulțumesc instead of thank you.

I guess habits are hard to break, plus mulțumesc was one of the first words I learned in Romanian and is a fall-back word if I don't have anything to say.

It'll be interesting when I get back to that US to see how long it will take me to stop throwing in Romanian words into conversations.
