The world became more open after perestroika and even wider after the Internet became a mass phenomenon. Many more people have the opportunity to travel, communicate, live in another country and go to work. A story was written about one of the episodes of such life. In it, people, although of a similar mentality, but very different in spirit and internal organization, find a common language. We know how to listen, but do we hear each other, even speaking the same language? This is not so important when you are in your usual environment. When can you withdraw from communication? How do we show ourselves when there is no way to select a team, choose or change partners? Everything happens spontaneously, without tests for psychological compatibility and the possibility of choice. Someone moves away, or we accept the person as he is, judging him by his actions. Words, language, appearance, belonging fade into the background. In such a situation, a deeper, common language of a completely different kind appears.
