As I just made it to the elevator to go up the 4th floor of the library, I saw two girls hurrily rushing from behind to make it to the same elevator, first I pressed the button 0, even though I wanted to press 4, but the display nevertheless showed 4 - nice. And thereafter the girls were almost there at the doors, so as a gentleman, I waved my foot at the sensor a couple of times as the doors were closing and the doors opened. Of course the said "paldies" and as a reflex I answered "lūdzu", not even noticing that we've just talked Latvian and afterwards we didn't say a word no more. Then I sat at the nearby desk from them and noticed that they talked Latvian (yeah, quite Estonian reaction from me) and of course started a conversation with them by saying that I must have known if there are 2 new students from Latvia and bla bla bla. Anyways and then happened something really unexpected - there were like dozen of unseen students talking Latvian at Bolzano's library. And another surprising thing was how they looked - guys with fancy but smart haircuts and the girls without boosted looks - very non-Latvian - if I haven't heard them talking, I would have never guessed that they're Latvians. Ok, there was as well a bit thick guy who I couldn't quite figure out whether he was a boy or a girl.
After recovering from the shock there was in general a quite curious thing going on - a guy was singing Enigma - "return to innocent", but with his own made up quite smart and funny lyrics in the instrumental gaps. But of course it's the library and you can't do like that there, so everybody was disturbed even though smiling and at last on the clock display it appeared "SHUT UP". Don't know how the library's administration achieved it, but they definately deserve credit for it.
And then there was some part that I don't remember, but in any case I'm here now, finally awake :).
