>at restaurant with friend from japanese class >chopstick packets have pic related on them >don't recognise the third character, looks like a じ with " in the wrong spot >friend asks waitress what that character is >she says the word and starts explaining what hiragana and kanji are as if she's speaking to baka gaijin >I hide myself in second hand embarrasment >he tries to explain he knows kana and asks again specifically what the third character is >she walks away without answering >straight afterwards figure out it's も with the strokes not going through the curve >spends the whole meal trying to think of a way to prove to the waitress that he's not baka gaijin
You and your friend should stop caring about what the waitress thinks about him. The judgement of a woman serving your food doesn't mean anything to you.

When I visited San Francisco, I ordered a long island iced tea, but my waitress thought it was just an iced tea. It was over 10 years ago, but I still remember it.

How do I talk to the Japanese girls in my college? I only know the kana. Note I'd be happy to talk to guys too but only girls come here for some reason.
