proud of me

when i returned from my shopping trip today... there was a memo in my mailbox... all written in japanese...

with my little japanese... i gathered it was a note to say that there was a delivery made while i was away... guessed it was a book that i've ordered through amazon...

there were numbers on the note... guessed they were telephone numbers... tried one... but it seemed that was not a telephone number...

deciphered the memo a little more... figured out the driver's mobile... and decided to call...

'hello... すみません。えいごをはなせますか。'
(excuse me... do you speak english..?)

'... ... ... ...'
(i dont speak english)

'すみません。だいじょうぶです。'
(sorry... it's ok then)

'... ... おなまえわ。'
(name?)

'~husband's name~'

'わかりました。'
(i understand)

'delivery... きょう... だいじょうぶですか。'
(delivery... today ok?)

'... ... ... ...'
(~guessed~ ok... from 4-6pm)


tada..!

i conversed with a non-english-speaking japanese... and arranged for a re-delivery of my book..! ha..! =)
