| Topic | It sucks that you order food in Japan without speaking Japanese |

Also Americans are obsessed with choices. In southeast Asia you just order eggs fried, but in America you order eggs over easy, over medium, over hard, etc etc. Foreigners go blank when you ask them "how would you like your eggs?" It is when they don't even know they have a choice and don't even have a translatable word for those choices. Take a Filipino cheese shopping in America and they'll be surprised to know there's all kinds of white cheeses. They just know there's a yellow cheese and a white cheese and they don't even know the name of a white cheese. --- *flops* ... Copied to Clipboard! |
