今天没吃药，感觉自己萌萌哒～


This time let me talk about my experience in Japan. It was two years ago, when I was on my way to the U.S., I transferred in Tokyo, so I had the opportunity to stay there for 22 hours. One of the most helpful things was that almost all the people I spoke with spoke English, but one of the most unacceptable things was their accents!

I arrived in the first evening, and lived in a 3-star hotel provided by the airline free of charge. The hotel was in suburban Tokyo, and the room was luxurious, at least for me. But there was one thing, I couldn't find any drinkable water, except for a black electronic kettle without cable in the cabinet. So I picked up the phone and called the front desk.

（①定要听😂）
- Do you have drinkable water?
- No, but there is a kettle in your room.
- Yeah I saw it, but I didn't find the cable.
- The cable is on the table.
- Really? But I can't find it.
- It's on the white table.
- I can't see it.
- You see a white table next to the desk?
- Yes
- There is a white cable on the table.
- OK, I will take another look. Thank you, bye.

Finally, I found the cable, which was white, magnetic and was attached to the white table. He was right!

In the second morning, I went to hang out in Akihabara. However, my cell phone was not able to access the Internet or GPS, so I planned all the routes and made a detailed schedule before checking out of the hotel, where there was an Ethernet (Internet) cable. I took the free bus operated by the hotel to the city, and then subway to my destination. But when I got off the bus, I was not able to find the subway station, so I asked the bus driver for help.

（一定要听😂）
- Excuse me, sir?
- Yes?
- Where is Funabashi Station?
- Funabashi Station?
- Sorry?
- Funabashi Station?
- Sorry, could you repeat it?
- You are finding Funabashi Station?
- I'm sorry, but I didn't understand you.
- You are asking a station?
- Sorry, but what's a station? I mean I'm going to this place, do you know where is it? (I showed him my note)
- Oh I see, you cross the bridge and go ahead.

At noon, I entered a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant. Since I'd never been to such a restaurant, I asked the waiter, "Hi, I've never eaten here, could you give me some guide and advise?". "I don't speak English", answered the waiter, and he called for me a Japanese waitress, who spoke English. Luckily, she understood me, but her accent was even more weired than other Japanese, so that I couldn't follow her. Finally, she asked, "Where are you from?" "China." "Wait a moment, I will get you a Chinese waitress." The Chinese came, but she talked to me in ENGLISH! I felt so strange, but I had no other choice except to respond also in English. Nevertheless, she was not a fluent English speaker either. Eventually, she couldn't refrain from asking me, "Do you speak Chinese?" "YES!!" And we spoke Chinese happily...

What an embarrasing trip!
