Some Impressions/Learnings
• Students as absorbers of information• “English-speaking” lawyer on train• Kidney stone & medical care• I am more American--with my problem-solving,
can-do attitude--than I realized.• (So I guess I was an American agent after all.)• I am also getting old: young people gave up their
seats for me on trams and trains and helped self-sufficient me with my luggage.
