Her hairy legs.
I saw her standing there, waiting for the same tram in her home town in eastern Slovakia. I hadn't seen a woman with hairy legs since the 60's in Germany. I just had to speak to her but I don't speak Slovak. Never mind I thought, "I'll ask her what number tram will take me to the railway station" ... as if I didn't already know. Slovak was the only language she could speak but with grunts and groans I managed to invite her for a cup of coffee at the railways station. I figured I could use a friend, there in Košice, as I was already in love with the place and had already been there twice.
"What is your name", I tried in several languages. She understood nothing. I pointed at my chest and told her mine. I then pointed at her and said,
"Ah .... er .... Olga?" "Olga", she repeated. This woman didn't understand damned I word I was saying. But guess what! Yes! Her name is Olga!
That was it. We exchanged addresses and said goodbye. Well, I said “goodbye”, she said ¤*#¡ďúĽ …. or something like that. I wrote her (in German) for a whole year. She had my letters translated. It was when I arrived the following year that my world was turned upside down. Olga had much more than hairy legs! Two years later (and a dozen visits to Slovakia) she came to Sweden and we were married!
