i have to say that traveling to non-speaking-english country is frustrating. i`ve been to thailand, they barely speak english but most of them especially who works at public service area [subways, mrt, etc] at least understand english.

but at the moment in tokyo, the most developed country in the world, with advance technology, digital buttons at public toilet, anyone? they hardly speak english. i have to express doggy face when i asked for chilli at local mc. donalds. i felt stupid, i don`t get my chilli and pissed off. and the gong is: the keep talking in japanese eventhough you obviously don`t understand what they`re talking about. call me gadis pemarah kurang penyabar, but trust me it is frustrating. of course local students they learn english at school but there`s no chance seeing them since it`s now school holiday in japan. and the youngsters, they understand very little. i was at harajuku the other day, i thought, hmmh, may be today is the day meeting english speaking youngsters. nope. no chance.

two days ago i took a day tour to mount fuji and hakone. oh finally, i met lots of travelers and so i could exchange information and stuffs. but i want locals, i want to know a lot about them. yeah i heard  that it`s their ego not to speak english but still able developed and even advance. may be travelers got the same feeling when they visit indonesia. but we don`t have that ego, do we?
