Today I took a trip withe most interesting man in the world. Remember that commercial? Well this was the guy or perhaps his brother.
So this man, probably in his 60's sat next to a kid in his early 20's for over 3 hours. He proceeded to tell this kid everything about himself. (Yes I'm an eavesdropper and proud of it)
He was born in Germany. He is a linguistics professor. He apparently travels the world giving lectures. He knows 50 languages. Literally you name the country and this guy claims to speak the language , German, Swiss German, French, Russian, Korean, Spanish, several African languages, English of course.
He has also lived in Germany, Switzerland, Costa Rica, Africa, United States, Mexico, etc etc etc. He was jailed in Switzerland for 3 days for something.
This kid was a college student wanting to be a doctor and he barely got a word in edgewise. Every time he would bring something up, the guy would relate some part of his life it and tell about the time he....
He has Two kids, both girls. The whole family travelled the world. Oh I forgot he trained for the Olympics in running. Don't know what came of that. Played a musical instrumental at some point.
What can't this guy do? He has yet to negotiate world peace. There's still time.
