Diversity Day

So, I was just outside, smoking a cigg and I heard my neighbor talking on the phone in some foreign language. I'm thinking some Eastern European language, Korean or Swahili. I'm guessing it was a solid Farsi. That's the cool thing about London, it really is so diverse. Over 300 languages are spoken here, and I have a super bad ear, so anything from Cockney to Spanish sounds pretty much the same to me. But, back to diversity. Living in Dallas the past 6 years has closed my mind, and my tolerance just a bit, so it's cool living in a city where there are over 300 languages spoken on any given day, but it's NOT cool when they are your next door neighbor and they are plotting to assassinate you, your family and maybe the entire population of London. I mean, that's a full on massacre that would devastate the UK, and maybe Europe. I think the rest of the world would be okay, because, hey, the US is in good shape. We survived 9/11 and we do not tolerate terrorists and their scary languages! These colors don't run!
