It’s a small world

I’m in São Paulo in a little café near my apartment. It’s a traditional café
on the corner of a small side street. In the evening it’s crowded and
noisy, but at the moment it’s quiet and empty. I’m the only person at the
bar. I look around. The pictures on the wall are local scenes. The news
on the radio is local news. Everything is very Brazilian … or is it?
The waiter speaks to me in English. Her English is perfect. I ask her
where she’s from. ‘Dublin, in Ireland,’ she says. Another waiter is from
Spain and their boss is from Argentina. ‘You’re a long way from home,’
I say. ‘Yes,’ she says, ‘I am, but I love it here! It feels like home.’

I agree. This is a great place, and everyone is very friendly. The waiter Coffees: Sweet:
