OK,So I was on the bus and I heard two guys speak about America,one was like 30ish and the other was an old man,around 70.They didn't know each other,they were just conversating.Since I have a passion for America,I kindly interrupted them and asked the old man if he has lived there.We started talking but then it was time for me to get off the bus.The old man said he's going to this pastry shop to meet his fri4end and suggested I joined them.i knew the pastry shop he told me about so i agreed.It was right at the bus stop.So we got off the bus,and walked in the pastry shop,we sat,ordered and started talking.He's a very intresting person,he went to the states to study back in the 1950's...he had many stories to tell me,and I found that helpful since I plan on going to the states for my masters.However,one thing i didnt like was that he said I can go check out his summer house sometime.Some time later,his friend came.He was older than him.We had a nice conversation alltogether,it was the first time I met intresting,smart,funny old people.They both came from good families and were businessmen back in the day.My guy,though(the one I met on the bus) didn't mention if he has a wife. He gave me his card with his e-mail,address and telephone number.He lives in a respectable area downtown.Today I found a missed call on my phone,I called them back now and it turned out it was him(i gave him my number yesterday)...he suggested we go out tommorow.I said I can't cause I'm going away for the weekend and he asked if i'm coming back.
