"Ah, hai hai" I replied back. XD
So I don't know if they're humoring me or are actually pleased to find a store clerk who can explain things to them in their language.
If it was me, I think I'd be relieved.  |
Thats cool. Where I live all the Japanese are not Japanese, theyre American, so itd be pretty mean if I talked to them in Japanese. Many of them dont know Japanese b/c, well, theyre American.
