Wholesome af. Insert something about kindness transcending all language or some sappy shit

Can’t agree more with that sentiment.

Insert wholehearted concurrence!

Also, learn Spanish. If you speak English, Spanish isn't that difficult to learn. Spanish is a Latin language while English is Germanic, but they're both Indo-European which means that they have a lot more in common with one another then, say, English vs Mandarin or Arabic.

Good for this dude. It’s actually really hard making friends at that stage in life and he went and did it.

You don't know you're doing it until you did it. It's kind of weird.

Not to sound like a mid-90s Diane Lane movie, but it really is what happens when you "put yourself out there."

I mean it is also a story about the different cultures. Latinos tend to have a more open and inviting culture.

I find a lot of people also just appreciate the effort especially when it comes to learning a language

What the hell did Diane Lane do? I literally only know her from Streets of Fire, don't laugh.

This is what it looks like when people who have wealth have no problem sharing it with others. Not monetary wealth but rich in community.

It's also what it looks like when you treat people as people, rather than trying to win a split second of approval by being racist on 4chan.

This should be another origin scenario for Cyberpunk 2077.

When I was a cook in west Hollywood I was basically the only white dude in the kitchen. Honestly was the best time I had with coworkers while I was there. They were hard, good, and funny workers. One night after a super stressful shift one of the other cooks was giving me a ride home and we stopped at a gas station he came back with two 40's and said "this is for the relax". I'll never forget that crew.

Boh Kitchen folk are some of the most honest and real people you can meet.

BOH is the perfect case study for how forced tight knit interactions can form into cultural melting pots. Lets break some barriers people.

Not adding a link to be pedantic. Just thought it explained it better than I could.
