The other day, after buying some stuff to cook my lunch, I decided to take the bus to go home. I walked to the bus stop and when I arrived, there was only an old lady. I don´t know why, that day the bus took more time that it usually did. I waited in there for about 25 minutes.
While I was standing in the station, the old lady started to talk to me.She was really upset because the bus hadn´t arrived yet. As she didn´t have anyone else to complain XXX, she did it with me. After a few minutes, she changed the subject and asked me something. I didn't understand what she asked, so I requested her to repeat xxxx me. Again, I failed to get it. The old lady laughed and began to talk really slow and doing mime. She was simply asking: "Can you walk home?".

You have a good memory for detail, Carlos. Has that ever happened to you where you were in your country and you were speaking to a visitor who didn't understand you?
