Arigato

Today, I sold a bottle of bath salts to two Japanese women who could hardly understand what I was trying to say. How triumphant I felt after. This accomplishment was made all the more of a feat because there was no wild gesticulations involved, no loud, long drawl of words of foolishly thinking that talking like I had low IQ would allow the tower of Babel to reach heaven. Only a polite pointing to the feet trying to tell them "you can soak your feet in it too". Hyiuk hyiuk.

I coud hardly believe it when they walked away with the bottle. And, in my glee, I forgot how to say thank you so very very much (as the literal translation must be) until I didn't need it anymore.

Bangkok, by the by, was fantastic. To orgasmic proportions for shopaholics (not that I am one). Will blog and post pics later, when I have the time.
