It was a relief to hear this story. Like Jayne, the "blonde" was a keyword for female at first (a sorry factoid) and I half expected a more confrontational conclusion. Not all recipients of largesse are so gracious. It's moving on both sides, the willingness to give, of course, but also the willingness to receive. Across cultural and rhetorical (stereotyping) barriers. There's so much of the opposite -- it's refreshing to hear this.
Best,
Siham
