Managed to get a bit lost over the weekend using the new tram line, heading out to the new studio by the sea we're booked into. The trams are really well designed: spacious, futuristic looking, great sound insulation, and really lovely views along the way.
I hopped off at the right stop but started out in the wrong direction.
So when I passed an open store, I went in to ask where this street was, and lo! there's the real Jamal, the one I studied Finnish with but had to oversee too as his cultural ambassador. I looked him right in the face and thought: 'jaze, but these lads all look the same' as he pointed the way on his phone. I thanked him and set off.
Suddenly I hear a shout - '..good to see you again, Irish!'
I turned and he was still standing there grinning, then I clocked it was him and we both laughed.
Next time I'm passing, I'll do some shopping there to boost his wallet and cheer him up.
One good turn deserves another.
