I've been running into tourists all over the place.

I had one man ask me in the metro to help him buy a ticket as I was finishing buying mine, and although I was pretty sure he spoke English he was very intent on using French, so I didn't ask. I guessed, though, because when the machine asks if the customer wants a receipt, I asked him:

"Voulez-vous un reçu? (He looks at me) Une quittance? (Still looking)  A RECEIPT?" "Oh, no! Non, merci."

Last night, after seeing Dark Shadows with A and her friend Ar, we ran into some American tourists who stopped us and asked for the metro, and I responded and their first reaction was, "Oh you're American! Thank God!" Haha so we helped them to the metro and actually they were getting off where I normally do for work.

It's nice being able to help tourists, and very funny, considering I'm still kind of one myself.
