Bilinguality

Is there such a word? Anyway, there is a fabulous oriental market in Denver. Several, as a matter of fact, but one huge market close to a great oriental buffet. One day recently the buffet inspired me to buy lychee nuts at the market. I didn't know where they were, so I asked a stocker. The problem was that all the stockers are Mexican, so I had to describe lychees in Spanish. That was an interesting task.

Moral of the story: If you shop anywhere in Denver, you'd better be able to speak Spanish.
