So I just had what I feel was my best set here in Ecuador. Bookstore in one of the malls, HB 8.5 and sister HB6.5. Cos game out here is new I´ve reverted to the original methods. Saw the 2 set and thought that I would open with an opinion opener. Went to the tourist section to find a book on Ecuador, came back to the two-set and opened with a simple opener: my Dad´s visiting and I need some advice on where to take him and chose two options a beach town or a mountain town. The sister directed me to the other one (HB8.5) and said that she was the ´traveller´(great some ammo!).

She said that the beach town was best and they asked where I was from I made them guess, sister said India and I said well originally but where am I from you have to listen to my voice! Finally I told them and asked where she had travelled. When she said that she hadn´t been out of the country I said I thought you were the traveller. We talked about languages and I mentioned that I was learning Russian because of an ex as well as speaking French and Spanish. I asked if she could speak English and she said that you need to have a boyfriend or girlfriend from that country to learn the language. I said ´I´m sorry but I´m not available´. She laughed, and said no, no, no but this is when she really began to give me the eyes.

I took a few more opportuinities to use CF, the next was when I started saying me gusta to talk about people (for objects it means I like, for people it means I fancy!). When she explained what it meant I said oh so it´s like the way that ´te gusta a mi´(you fancy me). They laughed again.

The last CF refame that I did was when she asked if I drank alcohol and I naturally accused her of trying to get me drunk to take advantage of me.

All in all it was a great interaction and I will prbably see her again on Friday.

Over and out.
