There is a joke in there somewhere, but I don't want to be banned for life from the forum ;DTom said:Some trivia .... the "food" she's looking at is probably plastic models of what's on the menu, a common practice at Japanese eateries. When I'd spend a week or two in Tokyo or Kyoto, I was usually alone (sans a translator) on weekends, and liked to get out in the boonies. Unfortunately, English is virtually non-existent and, without those plastic models in the window, I'd have gone hungry. All I had to do was motion to the waitress to come outside, and I'd point at what I wanted to eat among the display in the front window.
