Not too surprising. There's an Irish pub everywhere. I'm reliably informed there's even one on the moon. Of course, the heads on lunar Guinness are outrageous with the 1/6th gravity problem.

Among other topics, our conversation turned to very low-level programming. We talked about stack frames, relative addressing, x86 vs PIC, RISK-V, compiler design, 16-bit jump limits when we were kids.

In the pandemic I decided I wanted to speak only Esperanto and escape the UK's lockdown. So I moved to Barcelona and hung out with my Esperanto friends there. I spoke no English. My Esperanto improved. A lot.

A couple of years prior to Barcelona, I decided to spend a week living in an old soviet-era high school building with around 250 speakers and learners of Esperanto.

We'd all wake up each morning at 7am, head to class and study until 1pm, and then spend the rest of the day socialising, playing games and getting drunk.
