Every place is indeed different, you will find. And there are many places represented here. It boggles the mind at times.
I'd be happy to accompany you. Ah, I neglected to introduce myself. My name is Rhy Maresh. At the moment I am currently unable to hear, but I am still able to speak and I do speak sign language, if you know it. Otherwise I am sure we can make do with gestures, lip-reading, and writing if we get stuck.
