Chips n Salsa

One of my colleagues from the states is in town for a few days, so I drove him around all of the local towns today. He's good at asking open-ended questions, so I probably did too much talking as we drove. I had drawn up a little map of the areas and I noticed he already had lots of notes too. He sent a nice thank-you note as soon as I dropped him off, so it seems we both had a good time.

For dinner we went to TGI Fridays. Quite an American restaurant of course. My wife asked if the had "chips and salsa" and the very friendly waiter gave her a funny look. He started to say there's a sauce with fajitas and he could probably...then we all realised at the same moment that we should have said crisps and salsa, because "chips" means French fries here. We all had a good laugh about that. The waiter really was great and we have him a great tip even though tipping is relatively rare here.
