Overheard in Cusco

Context: English-ravaged hostal I was staying in, at dinner time.

Me to two guys sitting on the table next to mine: Disculpa, pueden dar me las servilletas por fa?
*Blank stares*¨
Me, again, in English: Could you please pass me the napkins?
English guy # 1: Why did you ask in Spanish? Does it look like we speak Spanish?
Me, annoyed: Well, you do realize we're in Peru....
English guy # 2: Exactly! We're in Peru, not in Spain!!!
*Roars of laughter*
