[COLOR="Purple"]Totally Totally Off Topic.
I was living in Tokyo... This must have been in my second year there... I saw an elderly couple, foreigners, trying to make out the subway map and not doing very well... Being the helpful type I asked if there was something I could do for them.
After making sure they knew the directions and methods I said my 'see yas' and turned to go to work.
I over heard the wife tell the husband "Well, he spoke English very well!". I couldnt stop giggling all day... I guess I had taken on a bit of an accent (actually I have been told I dont have an accent (is that possible?)) and my black hair and brown eyes... hehehe[/COLOR]
