Resthome intercultural exchange.

Like last month at the resthome, the one (Romanian) front desk worker who only works like one or two shifts a week overheard me saying "Good night!" in (Tibetan) to my one or two (Tibetan) coworkers I was on shift with that night.

"What is that?", she was like as soon as I said it, and we all told her, and then she said it a few times, repeating after us.

Like a week or two later, the one (older) (cool) (gruff) (townie) front desk worker told me that now every night the (Romanian) front desk worker says "Good night!" in (Tibetan) to anyone (Tibetan) on shift when they leave.

"You started that," she was like.

. . .

...how often do (Romanians) and (Tibetans) interact like that, I wonder? probably not often...
