Firstly I spoke to a girl.
Secondly, it was in Spanish and thirdly....
So I was walking back and see this chica guapa on the other side of the road coming out of a door. I was walkin along minding my own business and we made eye contact.
Next thing you know she crossed the road and tapped me on the shoulder!
No she's not a puta but she asked me in Spanish "De donde eres?"
Now to this question I always seem to get the wrong answer as I have a load of options. As I'm English and living in Madrid but of Vietnamese descent it's not always obvious what angle the questioner wants me to take.
So I told her I lived around the corner, assuming that my luck was in.
She wasn't interested in this and asked me again so I went for plan b
"Soy de Ingleterra" I said
She wasn't interested in that either so the last option came out and I said I was from Vietnam, which all my yellow readers will know is a total lie.
Suddenly her face lit up and she said
"Would you like to be in a short film with me?"
A little gobsmacked I said of course I would and she then asked me if I spoke any Vietnamese.
As many of you who follow this blog know, I am totally crap at Vietnamese and the idea of having to do a film on the fly with a fit Spanish girl in which I talk only Vietnamese from a Spanish script is both completely absurd and a bit of a turn-on actually...(oops did I say that out loud...?)
So tomorrow, if she rings me back (yeah she gave me her number there and then!) I'm going to have to muddle my way through a Spanish script, translating into English then Vietnamese.
Oh my days!
