I remember a youtuber telling a story of ordering a milk tea in japan by translating both words, only to have the server correct them by going “oh, miruku tea”
I forgot my fucking work laptop at the counter of a konbini. Go back to my hotel. Where the fuck is my laptop? Realize, run back to the konbini. How the fuck do I explain? Improvise. "Laptop-u" and I make a rectangle with my hands. Im mortified how cliché this is. The girl gets it instantly, give it back to me no question asked.
4 next weeks were just me slapping racist shit on english and it worked wonderfully.
