No Habla English... Of Course

You know I would consider myself a pretty opened minded and culturally open person. I love seeing new cultures and meeting new people. In saying that what I am about to convey may sound a little nationalistic. So First let me convey that generally speaking I am not someone who believes that when you go somewhere knew you can't speak your native language or if you are bilingual your second language. But I do think you should make an attempt no matter how awful it is at the language of the country or place that you are in.

As many of you know I currently work in Disney World and sometimes I get very frustrated when all I hear is a mix of different languages, and it's not just the customers it's my co-workers yelling back and forth to different people, it's the tv downstairs in our break room, and then it's a large percentage of people I interact with on a daily basis. Sometimes I just want to scream at the top of my lungs speak English! Because one of my biggest pet peeves is when a tour group comes in and most of them are high school students so they no some English ignore us, don't pay attention, or just wander off. We are trying to help you and you are not helping yourself, therefore you are just getting frustrated. Join the club we have t-shirts they say Pay attention or No Food For You!

Anyway I thought I'd explain how sometimes all I wanna hear is a full English conversation and watch a ESPN in English... is that too much for a girl to ask?
