221. Beer Tour

Due to a semi family member I got a behind-the-scenes tour of the Chisinau Beer Brewing facility.  This is the largest brewing facility in Moldova and they have contracts with many other country's beer companies.  It was very interesting.

But because of this tour I am now an "expert in fresh beer".

220. Scar

Last February I received a badge of honor that required five stitches.  But, you should have seen how many I gave the other guy. (If you want the real story:  http://timothyhornsby.blogspot.com/2012/03/200-scar.html).

When my Moldovan friends saw my scar, they said, "O, well, it'll be gone by the wedding."

I was confused at first.  How do they know when my wedding is?  I don't even know when my wedding is... Well, maybe I just misunderstood.

When a Moldovan friend came back from America and saw my scar she said, "O, there is a Moldovan saying that we say when someone has a scar.  We say that, 'The scare will go away before your wedding day'."

So, if the saying is right, I will not have a visible scar on my wedding day.

219. Really?

This is a conversation I had with my host niece who is six:

Bianca:  Hello!  Welcome home.
Me:  Hello.
Bianca:  Where were you?
Me:  I was at work.
Bianca:  Like that? *as she looks at me in my flip flops, t-shirt, and shorts that I am wearing*

She didn't approve of my 'work' attire.
