This is something I struggle with. What to do in some types of situations. This is one of them. However they acted the same way I did, so, I am assuming that my response was appropriate.
The situation is as follows.
I walked into Starbucks and ordered my Venti Mocha Frap and Chocolate Muffin. I then walk down stairs to find an outlet. I strutted my stuff down the stairs to drive the girls wild because I saw a few girls at the bottom. After acting extremely dapper, I noticed that there were 3 Americas sitting near where I planned on setting up shop. Now, this is fine. No big deal. However what becomes awkward is that probably in the entire city there is, and I am just guessing, maybe less than 100 Americans. In China the percentage of Americans is super small. Out of 1.4billion people probably less than 300,000 are Americans. I can’t check this because there are really no hard numbers on this. So just a guess.
My questions is this. Should I of said, hello, what’s up, what’s clackalackin or just do nothing like in America. I picked the latter as did they. They talked about baseball and some other non interesting junk. They were probably all pissed because there were in a place where no one understood them and what they were talking about and then this handsome white stallion shows up (me) and now they have to censor their conversation because I speak English. Either way they bailed shortly after. Which was good because there were obstructing my view of all the beautiful girls that were no were to be found.
Oh well all well that ends well my Grandma would say.
