Roses

So Arun surprised me with a bouquet of roses.

Yes, he still does that. Awww... I know.

But of course, it's the backstory that makes it interesting.

Arun stopped at a street shop and pointed to some red roses and asked, "skolke?"

She answered, and he didn't comprehend. (They speak lightening-fast here.) He put up six fingers saying he wanted half a dozen roses. She shook her head and said, "Nyet, dicich."

This time he understood- 10. He thought- WOW, who would have thought that six roses would only be $1.50? How could they be cheaper HERE than in America? Where do they grow these? It's cold half the year....

So he tells her he wants a dozen.

Ok- so you're seeing the punchline right? Yup, they were $1.50 each. So the grand total was $18 or 108 Hr. Which makes a LOT more sense.

And best of all? Arun's always thought red roses were worth it :)
