Very similar.

Campus, whatever.

So I...

I remember I took a train over the city.

I arrived there and I fell asleep on the grass at 4 or 5 a.m.

I didn't know where I was.

You were still in Guatemala.

I was still in Guatemala.

Literally curly hair up to my long curly hair.

I had a banana bag from Guatemala.

So I look and I was very dark.

And I'm sleeping on the grass somewhere there.

And there's a gentleman, an old man with a beard and a pipe, pushed me, you know, he says, hey, where are you coming from?

And, you know, I look up and I said, well, I'm telling my story.

And the man happened to be an old teacher of Harvard who, you know, kind of...

became friendly with me and said to me, well, how long have you been traveling?

And I said, I've been traveling for the past three months.

You know, have you read a paper recently?

I said, no.

In fact, you know, I've been a little bit out of everything for the past three months.
