I'm a foreigner, stranger in a strange land, and I make alot of
mistakes, obviously. Sometimes I push the envelope, being sillier
than usual, just because I can (That's what being anonymous gives me
- in some sense I can be whoever and whatever I want.)

I don't know if my neighbors cut me slack, because I typically
wouldn't recognize their gossip if they were doing it. At least
the people around my vicinity who know me ('know' in the sense
that they smile, wave, give me my newspaper without asking and say
buongiorno every day) understand that I'm perfectly harmless, so I
am guessing that they are cutting me alot of slack too.
