Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Sometimes, no matter how delightful the Japanese food is, no matter how kind and thoughtful your friends are, no matter how comfortable the accommodations, no matter how wonderful the shopping, you just want something from home. You look up ahead, and there, big as life, a welcoming beacon, the Golden Arches. The smile on your face could be mistaken for the Japanese rising sun. You leave your friends for a while and hurry in. Of course, everyone in the place is Japanese, and the signs are all in Japanese, but no matter, it’s a little bit of home. You make your way to the order counter and ask maybe the silliest question of your life, in Japanese - but you must ask it. “Do you have hamburgers?” Looking at you as if you have lost your mind, the clerk looks around as if this is a joke, and then slowly answer in Japanese, “Yes.” You continue hastily in Japanese, “Do you have french fries?” Again, he answers in Japanese, “Yes, we do.” Sighing in relief, you just have one last ridiculous question in Japanese, “Do you have milk shakes?” Staring in disbelief, the clerk answers again, “Yes.” A total success, and you asked all the right questions, all in Japanese.
