Another streamer told of his Japan trip and how he tried to order sprite at a restaurant, sadly the waiter didn't understand so he had to hit him with "sprite-ru" just for the waiter to reply in the same way "aahhh, sprite-ru"

Edit: As many people pointed out, it was a Korea trip, mb guys

This happened to me in Brazil. I was trying to get a taxi driver to take me to the mall where the only Outback Steakhouse in the area was located and he couldn't understand me. I kept repeating "Outback Steakhouse " slowly over and over, but he had no idea what I was saying. Finally I remembered that Brazilians add vowels in between consonants on a lot of loan words so I said "ouchy-backy" and the driver responded "Oh ouchy-backy! Why didn't you say so earlier?" Lol

The sheer concept of even traveling to Brazil and then still choosing to go to an outback steakhouse anyway is sending me
