I believe this must be pounds, and then it would be 135 kgs to 81 kgs. Does not sound bad!

The world in 2018 with poverty, wars, no actions against pollution, etc. etc., i.e. mankind having all the means but not the will to enable everyone, in particularly future generations, in having a good life.

From a man to ladies: you might think the hints you give are very obvious, but they are not! And if you like a man, make the first step yourself. Don't get upset if a man doesn't get your "obvious" hints.

What a horrible thought, and what a waste for that room. I would turn it into a cozy area to play video games that I do not have time for, read the books I always wanted to read, and spend time with loved-ones when days are too stressful.

An experiment was recently completed that shows that particles can change upon observation, so this may not be so far fetched after all.

My favourite is (translated by me to English so sorry that it might sound like it): A man walks into the surgical ward in a hospital saying: "Hello, I think I'm a moth." A nurse replies: "I'm sorry, this is the surgical ward, psychiatry is on the third floor." "I know but you had the lights on."

A fellow Croatian passenger approached me in English in the plane last time and I answered back in English because I couldn't know either. Until the moment he spoke to the flight attendant

I am Swiss, native language German. We went with our class to a part of the country where they speak French and German. Lost my way and ringed the bell at a random house. An old lady opens the dore and I ask in my best French if she knows where the youth hostel is. She asked me in German if they don't teach us German in school

While I was in Venice I was walking with a friend. Suddenly, we hear some boys commenting on our bottoms just behind us in our mother language. Now I'd make a snarky comment back at them. We were just too confused to do this then, sadly. I still get real embarassed just thinking about it.

Taiwanese friend and her sister were in an elevator in Taiwan, gorgeous foreign guy gets in. Friend teaches Chinese, so she knows many foreigners in Taiwan speak Mandarin, so she and her sister start discussing the guy's looks in Taiwanese (difficult language to learn, so most don't). Elevator stops, guy gets out, turns around, and in fluent Taiwanese thanks them for the compliments .

at the italy area in epcot, all the employees speak italian. they were talking trash about this older woman in the shop who kept bragging about having italian great grandparents or something. at one point they were so fed up with her i just burst out laughing, and their eyes widened in panic. so i responded in italian "that's hilarious! i was just thinking the same thing" and we all laughed loud enough that the other customers started staring.

I'd just had a spectacular new hair cut. Washing my hands in a shop bathroom, an elderly lady said laughingly to her daughter in Welsh 'Look at that girl's hair!' I replied in Welsh 'What's wrong with my hair?' Elderly woman was horrified, 'I didn't know you could speak Welsh!' (yeah, obvs.) We were in Cardiff, the capital city of Wales. Not everyone is a Welsh speaker here by any means, but why take the risk?!

I was in a hostel in London and two girls came in the room. They asked me of direction to their beds and I helped them (in english or course). I continued with my business. They then got to their bed and started to talk about quite personal things in Finnish, which is my native language. I didn't want to embarrass them, so I just hid my stuff (like thoothpaste) with Finnish logos or text and continued the week with some juicy stories and gossip. It was quite nice to hear familiar language as I was traveling for few weeks alone.

I was at a library, lady next to me spoke to her child in French and pointed at my hair saying that is what it would end up like if he didn't take care of his, I turned around and just politely said "Qu'est-ce que tu a dit?" Safe to say they hightailed it out of there

Not me, a former colleague. She was Chilean, looking the part and visiting her homeland. In a restaurant with a friend she overheard 2 dutch people being not very complimentary towards her and her friend. Apparently it was very satisfying when she greeted them in Dutch.

Two women came up behind me as I browsed in a store wanting to look at something where I was already shopping and started talking c**p about me in Spanish, saying that ‘this white girl is so rude for being in their way’ and ‘why doesn’t she just move already’ and ‘too bad those jeans that she’s looking at won’t look right on her ugly flat a*s.’ Finally I just turned around and said ‘Lástima que esta blanca pueda entender todo lo que dices.’ (‘Too bad this white girl can understand everything you say.’) You should’ve seen the faces as I walked away with that pair of jeans. Never assume.

Sitting outside of a restaurant (terrace table) next to a relatively busy road in a small Greek village, and a car with my hometowns license plates pulls up, so I decide to have some fun. I see a passenger holding a map so I'm guessing they're here to ask for directions. I approached the car quietly and let the poor woman ask directions to a nearby lake in the most broken English, just to proceed with telling her the directions in our native language. The entire car, including her, burst into laughter

That's true. I was once in a shoe store in Miami trying on shoes when one of the attendants began sharing details in Spanish of her date's shenanigans the night before. Evidently he started out at PGA 1 of THE JOY OF SEX and went through the 1st 7 suggestions/positions. I have red hair and green eyes with fair skin but I still speak Spanish. They were SO embarrassed.

Plenty of Spanish people have a look like yourself. Hair color and eye color doesn’t determine ethnicity.

I was in a grocery store line. While the cashier rang up my purchases, these two girls behind me started randomly criticizing me in Spanish for being white. “Look at her stupid white girl clothes. She thinks she’s all that. Just another write girl who thinks she’s better than everyone else.” After I paid and the cashier handed me my receipt… I turned to the girls and in perfect Spanish said, “You know, I was born in Mexico, so I’m probably more Mexican than you are.” The looks on their faces was priceless!

I'd just had my hair done at a top salon, and was feeling mighty fine. Whilst washing my hands in a department store ladies' room, and older woman shot me a quick glance in the mirror, and said to her daughter (in a 'what the h£ll has she done to herself?! tone of voice) in Welsh 'Look at that girl's hair!' I did a double take, and fired back - also in Welsh - 'What's wrong with my hair?' Cue acute embarrassment and many grovelling apologies from the woman. The odd thing is - we were in Cardiff, the capital city of Wales. Why on earth would she think no-one else could speak Welsh?

My aunt moved to the UK when she was 23-4 (it was around 2000) to work as an Au-Pair. She's Hungarian and made some friends (also Hungarian Au-Pairs) and they went out one day somewhere, the story is my aunt has a small tattoo on the back of her neck and they were standing in a queue and there was a bunch of teens behind them, one of them speaking out loud in Hungarian: "look this girl has a tattoo on her nape" and a friend of my aunt's turned to them: "and she also understands what your talking" 😀😀😀

worked at a second hand shop in Ireland. a customer asked me for a specific lace. never heard of before, didn't know what he wanted and send him to a colleague. so may he could help. he just left the shop and came back to me to ask where i come from. told him, that i'm from Germany. The next moment he answered in perfect german (with saxon dialect) that he could have said that to me right away... :D

My sister's cat suddenly seemed to get fatter overnight. We thought it was doing the above until one day we found it fighting with another cat - which looked exactly like it, but thinner. Things went 'click' and we realized we had been feeding an impostor who kept chasing my sister's actual cat off when he tried to come home. Smartest thing I've ever seen an animal do.
