Students 2

There was one whole day when I got interviewed by about five groups of English students who were instructed by their teacher to roam the streets of Medan, find a native English speaker, capture them and do an interview. I was about as obvious a native English speaker as you could get in Medan. This was one of the groups that captured me. They were really nice and I'm glad I got to participate, but by the end of the day I felt like some sort of celebrity and it wasn't as much fun as I might have imagined. The first two interviews were stimulating, but by the end of the fifth one, I didn't need another one.
