Even without the language barrier, it is easy to have misunderstandings. For example, today Anna, Traysea, Grace, Jackie, and I went to the market. There is a collective taxi there that takes anyone who wants to go from the market to our neighborhood. Anyone who wants to ride in it can ride- and since there are more people sharing that is why it is cheaper than a regular taxi. The only places it goes are to our neighborhood and back. Since Anna and I are the only two out of the five who went to the market today who live in this area, we were the only two who knew about this collective system. After buying some eh-skittles we were ready to go home. Anna told the girls, "Okay, Rachel and I are going to leave now! We know of a taxi that will take us to our houses!!" Grace looked at Anna like she had two heads..she responded, "Isn't that what a taxi does? It takes you where you want to go?" I died laughing. The people in the taxi probably thought I was crazy because I was still laughing about it all the way home. That combined with the fact I kept spilling eh-skittles everywhere. My brother always says that I think things are funnier than they are, and then I just pick one joke to laugh at for a really long time. One time I ordered apple juice at a sushi bar on a date and the waiter's face was so funny that I still laugh about it, more than a year and a half later. That same date happened to be when I figured out I was allergic to eel- because I had a reaction to it. Its always funny when people ask me if I have any food allergies. Eel is such an oddly specific allergy that I feel funny mentioning it. The only time when I really need to make it known is when I eat sushi. I once mentioned to my host family I'm allergic to eel and they just looked at me so oddly. They just said "Okay well, guess we'll just have chicken for dinner instead!".
