So I asked the mother in the family where the bathroom was, but she led me to a
room with a bathtub but no toilet. I was confused. But I suddenly remembered there
are minor language differences between American English and
British English, so
I thought maybe that was one of them. I got out of the “bathroom” and racked my
brains trying to find a word better t
han “pee”, ‘cause I guess “I want to pee.” is not
a proper thing to say to a stranger. But I really couldn’t think of anything other than
that, so I just went ahead and said “Excuse me, where can I pee?” And she took
me to a room on the second floor. So that was the first time that I communicated
with a foreigner, and as you can see, it was a little embarrassing. But once I got to
know the language and their customs better, everything just went much smoother.
