oh fail. fail fail fail
i am sweating. i went to billa to get a few things - apples, yogurt, chicken, sour patch equivalent - i stand in the long line to pay - pull out my card to pay - she gets annoyed - says something in czech - points to an overtly SMALL czech sign that apparently says cash only. yikes. so then they have to call the manager over to undo my purchases bc i have no cash today. awwwwwwkward. many people staring w / ugly looks. so then i go to another line - yeah - um card declined? my temp card i think is out of date as of today - so i say what i think to mean "never mind, sorry" as she calls the same manager over to do the same thing she just did for me at another line - more people staring - this is not a big place, people. so then i walk out. i can't go in there for a while now i'm sure. oh my head hurts. that was painful.

Ah the joy of inter-cultural experiences. You've not failed, my dear, you have arrived! :)
Oh and this is Sarah E, I found your blog through facebook :)
That's ok. My first trip to the grocery store resulted in a glass bottle of ketchup teetering over the side of the conveyer belt and shattering EVERYWHERE!
And then we had bought too much so all the handles on the bags started breaking. I had to abandon the eggs on the side of the road.
Good times.
oh no!!!! My dearest, it'll be ok. I have sucked it up multiple times at different places so far as well.... miss you soo much!
