They were really nice, but similar to your situation, our conversation was limited to hand gestures and a few recognizable key words and phrases, due to the language barrier. The evening came to an abrupt ending when my sister (a very inexperienced drinker at the time) threw up all over the table. The ensuing laughter was a universal language we all understood.

Nice job, man. And welcome back!
