The Japanese Lady @ Starbucks

I was at Mont Kiara Starbucks on a lovely Sunday morning, with my hot cup of coffee, browsing through the internet, when suddenly a Japanese lady came up to me and ask me to help her set up her internet connection as she couldn't seem to be able to connect to the internet. I didn't really know what she wanted at first because she couldn't really speak good English, but I did go over to her place and try to help her out. Guess what?...her Windows OS on her laptop is in Japanese!!! I was like "errr...ok..I will see what I can do, because I don't know how to read Japanese.." Luckly, I was able to navigate my way through the settings (thanks to the years of experience...cheh..:p) and guessed what each button meant. I finally manage to get her connected online. However, she didn't have a Timezone account, and she had to register for one. I helped her to register an account, but somehow, what ever you type, seems to be converted to Japanese characters! (the keyboards on her laptop are in Japanese too!!). I soon gave up in the registration process and just ask her to use my account. She then thanked me and we introduced ourselves. Believe it or not, I introduced myself in Japanese!!! "Watashi wa namewo, Nick des" She was impressed!! She then introduced herself as Connie des. Well after that she thanked me again, and we then returned to our respective places.
