Last night I walked to a nearby 7-11. Just as I got to the door, a man about 30 years old was coming out. He was a little surprised to see a gaijin, and I guess he really wanted to say something in English to impress me, but there wasn’t much time, so all he could think of was, “Congratulation.” I said. “Thank you,” and he rode away on his bicycle. Silly people, you gotta love ‘em.
