Watchyman

I have felt like I´ve been robbed since arriving in Venezuela.  There are so many words that they´ve stolen from English, it´s crazy.

So I was given the responsibility, no. . . privelage; to send all the Venezuelan students to bed at 1:00 this morning.  However, this is far easier said than done.  However, I just decided, "I´m a gringo that´s leaving the country in 5 days, who cares!"  Yet, this didn´t work at first, so I reduced myself to just yelling that I was the Watchyman (or Watchman as they say in England) and shooed them all away.  It was hilarious to see the faces react as I used their own stolen english word with a Spanish accent.  Watch out, There´s a GRINGO comming through!
