Oh, I just said that my brain hurt, and I tried to back-translate the sentence
into German to see if I was getting his point, but I still found it confusing,
because of all the sub-clauses, and sub-sub-clauses. Thinking about thinking
about thinking and all that. I said that I thought I got it, if one lifted out
the phrase "that not all Americans are thinking", but I wanted to be sure
that's what he meant. Then I said I was out of practice (going back to Germany
in two months! Woo woo!). rhys already got most of the last part; only I said
it was from when I was an exchange student.
As is often the case with people speaking foreign tongues, the conversation
is much less exotic than it sounds. :-)
See ya,
