The World Is Flat moment #1
I have a Mozambican friend who lives near Dallas. For a couple of weeks before I went I tried to call and was never able to connect with him. Finally I shot him and email. I found out he was in POLAND! We talked via Skype while I was in Dallas. We were talking in Portuguese, and I thought he said he was in Bologna, Italy. Turns out he said "Polonha"=Poland. Either way, via Skype I am speaking from Dallas with my Mozambican friend to Poland in Portuguese. What a world.
