So far, so good. But there are a few times that made me go "huh?"
"elastic sprawl" in describing American tourists
and
"She tried to teach me [the flute] but I hated how spit bubbled through the notes and had to be drained after each piece."

As an ex-flutist.... what? Is the author thinking of a trumpet? You don't need to drain a flute of spit. Condensation forms, but you don't hear it "bubbling." Very odd
