He seemed lost, and only talked about his home country. We heard about his sexual preference, beatings by his parents and abuse by a priest. In front of our daughter. I have already started a charge back on my Amex. I hope this man finds some peace and sticks to talking about street art because he clearly doesn’t know the “pubs and grubs” of London. We drank wine from slovakia (his home country) and visited a bagel shop run by Russians. It…”
