• somewhat immune to advertising as i do not always know what they are saying
  • don't know when people are making fun of me, ignorence is bliss
  • don't have to listen to annoying converstaions on u-bahn or bars
  • don't feel bad about ignoring junkies or other unsavories bothering me
  • no uncomfortable small talk with strangers (not that people make small talk here)
  • sometimes receiving a meal I ordered is a surprise (not as much, food i know)
  • seeing old movies in a new light
  • english becomes a treat
  • small moments of sucess like ordering give immense pleasure
