Having just broken up with my then girlfriend in Amsterdam, I found myself in a hotel in Paris running out of money. So I decided to call my grandmother. But as we were talking I ended up not asking her for anything and instead decided to play my violin in the streets, busking! I then realized I needed clothespins to hold the music if it was windy. So I went to a store to buy them but some French stores back then did not display things, so I said, “Je voudrais” and suddenly realised that I did not know how to say clothespins in French. So I held my clothes up like this to show him what I was looking for and he laughed. After a bit though, he found them and I let out a huge sigh of relief!
