Sometimes foreign people will be asking me for help finding things in the store. THere have been multiple times where someone will pull out their phone and show me a picture of what they are looking for. That is actually extremely useful. Having a picture like that is far better than having them try to explain what they are looking for using their limited knowledge of the english and me trying to understand them.
I helped an Asian lady the other day, and when she pulled out her phone I was expecting her to show me a picture of what she was looking for. Instead she is in google translate, using it to translate Korean to English! I was extremely surprised and I honestly got a little excited for no reason. If I wasnt teaching my self Korean or listened to kpop I would not have recognized the language that was on her phone screen.
Then there are the Chinese looking kids showing off their shoes to me while I try to help their mother find food coloring. The boy stomping his shoes on the ground to show how they lit up was pretty damn cute.
