  • I went to Kafka’s house in Prague and they had The Country Doctor in several languages. I wanted it as a souvenir so I bought it in the original German even though I don’t speak German. I also wanted to read it, though, so I bought an English copy too, assuming the translation would be closer than to Spanish, my native language. But I also wanted to gift it to an old teacher, so I bought it in Spanish, as well. My girlfriend then arrived and told me she would like a Swedish copy since she’s learning the language. I went to pay and the girl at the counter immediately goes “oh, wow, you speak so many languages”.
