my first time in japan was a disaster. i didn’t speak a word of japanese, but i thought it’d be fine i had google translate. turns out, google ain’t perfect. i was tryin to order ramen, but somehow the app translated it to “i want to buy your dog.” the waiter just stared at me, confused. the worst part? there was a couple at the next table with a little dog, and they thought i was serious. they started askin me how much i’d pay. i just sat there, sweatin, tryna figure out how to explain. lesson learned: never rely on apps for everything.
