asuk: Bet you miss the kolo mee in Kuching eh??? hehehe...

Thnx tanoshi-nye... but i think i will be getting an electronic dictionart although the pen is much more convenient because i wanna learn the signs on buildings and sign boards.. most of the e dict now have the stylus pen which i can write kanji on it..

ya it was me. nice meeting you too

that's the first thing i ate after landing in kch. hehe

honestly if u have problem communicating with store people, ure kinda in deep sh** about your studies.

clemong... is the culture shock. I also hard to understand what they talk because they are talking quite fast and very soft. But somehow sometimes I can understand what they are talking, but took some time to understand, but I will answer them with hand or head gestures hahaha.

Maybe try to go into different shops then u can learn how they work. Conbini is kinda tricky because they might say something extra.. i guess is the stamp card or point card like that?

if really dun understand then just say wakarimasen or yukkuri hanashite kudasai, or eigo de hanashite kudasai.

Hahahaha....bro, personally i know HER la...so confirm is GIRL.

Hahaha....dont worry bro....TEST and TRIED....confirm.

letihhhh arr wey Musha hahahaha@!

tanoshi, wakata yo.. sebab tu la.. faham faham je.. Whahaha.

From what I observe usually:
Kombini:
If you buy food -
1. they'll ask if you wanna 'nuke' it? (microwave)
2. sometimes they ask if you want chopstick.

If you buy only 1 item -
1. They might ask if you want a bag OR if you're going to eat/use it right away?

If you buy stuffs from supermarkets / departmental stores - then like 80% of the time they'll ask if you have their 'point card' before you pay.

If you're eating in a fastfood outlet - at the counter; after all the long greetings and all - usually first question is "Will you be eating in?" so, it's either a 'hai' or 'take out' (which they'll understand).

Anyway, most of the time you can just cheat your way if you just say 'hai' or 'onegaishimasu' ... like if you buy food and they ask all sorts of questions; just say yes to all la... if they nuke it for you and give you extra chopsticks - no harm done ma right?

just to add, when you buy stuff at supermarket they will ask if you want plastic bag or not. if you say yes, they will add 5 yen to your bill. at least that's whats happening in mishima. might not apply to tokyo, im not sure

so far,when i was there..they didnt add 5 yen when u asked for plastic bag or paper bag..

Bro, if you go to Seiyu..IF you didnt take a plastic bag they will deduct you '2 yen' if you take the plastic bag you no need to add any yen though..

seriously...what is this chick promoting?
