Keeping up International Relations

It’s pretty cool seeing all the different nations out there doing their thing.  There are a bunch of Canadians with their own Camp Canada, which just sounds delightful.  You also have some Italians, Aussies, and Kiwis hanging about.   The Kiwis were having a whole discussion about giraffes and hobbits while we waited in line for popcorn before a movie. They found the very idea of getting a picture of those two things standing next to each other absolutely hysterical.  Must be a Southern Hemisphere thing.  Also they call fresh popcorn ‘freshies’ which of course they do.

It really does brighten your day seeing all the different countries and cultures come together for a common goal.  We obviously never talk to each other or sit together in the dfac because we all stay in our cliques like high school, but still, it’s cool to see them all here. 


Actually just today I saw my first Danish troops.  Hard to miss, they are all 8 feet tall and allowed to have beards and freaky haircuts.  So you see the giant bearded guy with the Mohawk and instantly know, he’s a Dane.
