Random Event Of The Day 5

I was shopping (or doing very good just-looking-not-even-touching due to lack of funds) in a Japanese fashion shop called Comme Ca in Shinjuku the weekend before last. Comme Ca is pretty cool and funky...bit top-shoppy but not quite as out there. Anyway, they had a song on loop where the first couple of bars featured a voice over with somebody shouting "Hello" in English and I actually reacted to it and looked over my shoulder THREE TIMES as if someoby was talking to me!! It sounded so realistic and is testament to the fact that my new call sign is simply "Hello" as most of my kids forget my name so don't ever make it past "hello" and for half of the rest of Japan, that's about as far as in English as they can get...very embarrassing and a true sign of what my life has become!!
