Okay so I had this same time of experience lately when I stayed in a hotel in Milan, Italy. At first I tried speaking in Italian (because I am in Italy) but after a bit I realized I can’t “do Italian with Chinese accents” so we tried English…it didn’t get much better!

The whole time my head is spinning trying to figure out what this little old lady is trying to tell me...Joo nid exsa toewes? Es da bid oookay? Ow pay wif cash or cat? Very nice lady though!
