As much as I prefer to be at home and lazy I love to travel to museums and see things in reality but I do agree about the swords — I don’t even bother with such parts of exhibitions.

As a Swiss person I seem to be gifted cause I know some Italian as well as French, German (main language) and English. I am very rarely clueless if something isn’t labeled in English. There are some things I prefer in German cause it makes my Asperger mind dizzy when it’s in English (books I read for fun for example). But generally I don’t care much cause with those 4 languages you come very far in the western world ;-)
