On calling someone English

Wow, I totally suck at understanding people with accents over the phone. I just made an ass of myself trying to book a trip to Europe by having to go "huh?" "pardon?" quite a few times. I think I rely on watching a person speak as part of the whole hearing experience a lot of the time. I've always found it easier to understand someone when I can see them talking...maybe this is another reason that I don't especially enjoy calling people on the phone!

Anyway, I have booked my trip to Europe for this summer. Haven't actually paid anything yet, but I'm at least moving in the right direction. Woohoo!

Now...if only I had some of that chocolate M. sent to me yesterday...too bad I left it all at home!
