Picture
Who?
Christa
Where?
Berlin, Germany
What?
"I love your freckles! They are so beautiful!"
How did she react?
"Oh, really? Well, you are the only one to do that.." 
How did I feel?
There is a German 80ies song that goes like this: "Ich bin ja so verschossen in deine Sommersprossen." ("I am nuts about your freckles!"). As a child I got that melody a lot even though my freckles are not half as full on as Christa's. I have some around my nose, hers covered her whole face. I thought she looked incredibly unique and beautiful! When I let her know she disagreed. Then she contemplated for a moment and said: "You know what, the only good thing about them is they cover my age marks and no one can tell which one is what!" I shook my head and smiled. "Good point! But not mine. I just think they're really pretty. And I don't consider age marks ugly either." She responded, "Well, thank you!". Then I asked her: "Are you a true Berliner? I dig your accent!" And she said, yes, from Spandau. We chatted for a moment but soon my stop was announced. I got up and said goodbye, thankful once again for a beautiful encounter.

    Best compliment I ever got:
    "I love the way your teeth stick out when you laugh really hard."
