Just for kicks...
Imagine if you are in Tokyo, and go to an "American Diner-style =
Restaurant", where the American hostess greets you, you pass through the =
place and can hear English being spoken by the
short order cooks behind the counter area, you sit down and the server =
appears and you start to
place your order and the server turns out to be Rumanian and doesn't =
speak any English.
Wouldn't you consider this to be a weird experience?
