moving to Japan not knowing the language first probably wasnt the best idea.. it had been two weeks since you first landed in yokohama. you didnt know what you expected when suddenly you could no longer understand anyone around you

using google translate you had been able to at the very least book yourself a hotel but that was about it. everything else was a struggle. like today.

✦

today all you wanted was to find a café that served good coffee. you planned on using google translate again so when you found a cute looking café by the name of Café Uzumaki you went right in. you had been waiting in line for a half hour now until it was finally your turn. it was only when you went to order that you realized you had forgotten your phone..

damnit.

as if trying pathetically to point to what you wanted wasnt embarrassing enough you had a good feeling the people behind you were starting to get annoyed aswell. until one of which suddenly stepped forward and without sparing you a glance began speaking to the cashier right infront of you in the native language. you had accepted defeat a while ago and this sealed it for you. just as you were about to leave however

"hey, you wanted a coffee right?"

He spoke English?
