European highlight

“I love English accents. When you meet someone you like, they can instantly give you that “this is my soulmate” feeling. They can make you feel like YES you could actually live here, and YES it could be forever and that even though you don’t use words like “love”, this is exactly how it was intended to be used. It’s actually those Nordic and German accents that make you feel like a tourist. Even before her mascara has stained your pillow, you know that this will be nothing more than one of those stories that you will embellish when you get back home, and quickly forget. At least the French accents (which are just as “tourist-feeling” invoking), at least they make you feel like you’re doing something poetic when you fuck. You’re in a one night stand in your own 90 minute ‘new wave’ movie. This moment is a European highlight that will challenge all your philosophies about sex, love and Marxism. The next day, you will wake up and have a cigarette.”
