Got back home from vacation.
We met several russian families there, and each and every time they heard us speaking russian, they switched to English or German. That was especially funny when their English was not very good. One of their families, when asked by someone: "What is your native languages?", answered: "My native language is 'ivrit' and we live in New York". (sic, "ivrit", not even Hebrew :). There was one guy who talked with us in good russian (just smalltalk on a beach), but he was from Bulgaria.

Also we were puzzled, when a pharmacist told us that "It is not a high season for Dengue fever yet, and even if it was, it is not a problem. You europeans bring us flu, and you can catch Dengue here, so all is fair.".

I guess in US there are no portraits of Obama on main town square. A bit south of US, there still is:

Вы же тоже на басурманском языке пишете. Вот и они туда же. Многие удивляются:
- Вы столько лет не живете в России а говорите без акцента. Те, кого мы встречали, всего несколько лет живут в Канаде (Америке, Германии, Франции), а уже с акцентом говорят.
У меня ответ всегда один:
- Придуриваются.

Я научилась. Очень удобно - не нужны никакие наклейки. А еще любят воскликнуть: "О май гад!")))
