Hamna breki!!!

I often think language barriers are completely unsurmountable barriers to establishing relationships with people here, but yesterday someone came whizzing past us on a bicycle, screaming "HAMNA BREKI" and as they bounce over a nearby speed bump, I remembered... I bet we understand a lot more than we think we do, without speaking the language. It was funny to see this man's friend greet him with "peace be with you" and hear only his cries of panic as he couldn't slow down his bike. More later.
