Anyway, here's what happened to me 8 years ago.
I went on a holiday to Prague with my classmates, to celebrate end of high-school. We stopped in Vienna, at Prater park. My friend and I were hungry, so decided to grab a snack from a fast food stand. We ordered some hot-dogs, and then I went to my other friends who were asking me for some advice on what alchohol/ciggars we should buy. Before that, I went back to the stand and told to my friend at the fast-food stand :"You stay here, and keep an eye on this old idiot (who was working at the fast food stand) not to mess up something with the hot-dogs". Few minutes later, I returned. The "old idiot" looks at me and says in my native language:"Well, boys, are you from Croatia? Me too." My only tought in that moment was "Earth, please do open beneath my feet." I never felt so ashamed in my life.

I find it interesting how people react so much differently depending on your age. For example, if Sikret was 20 years old then, his host would probably be angry. Since he was 12, he was probably "straight, honest, sweet" and made a good laugh. I'm not sure about that (probably depends on country culture etc.) but age of 12 is like a "line". Once you get past it, people begin to take you more seriously. Even worse, you start to take them more seriously. I think that pic Sikret was reffering to would make everybody laugh if they didn't think it's innapropriate. But then again, I find operas very funny so I might not be the best person to comment on that.

And yeah, the world is a small place.
