multilingual good intentions

My apartment is on the ninth floor.

That’s 128 steps up.

A 256-step round trip.

I should walk them everyday.

Well, three times a week would be great.

At least once a week, definitely.

Well, I walked down them the other day.

128 steps.

Potentially dozens of cases of l’esprit d’escalier.

If a French term can work in English when an Aussie is being witty with Koreans, that is.

I’ll try it out next time I do the stairs.

Next time..
