At a burger/falafel joint in a gas station near the bus stop for what I think is the exhibition center: my burgers sizzle as they are pressed flat in the grill. The worker asks me a question several times. I don't understand. Another customer suggests that he try it in English, but neither knows the English words. He asks me something new, using cryptic hand gestures. I say "OK." The burger is adequate, with no surprises. As I look up at the Ninja Turtles hot air balloon floating nearby, I see my bus go past. There will be another soon.
