Eating and drawing.  Waitresses texting in Chinese.

Texting Waitresses

Noticing sketching, waitress saying, "Beautiful."

Pointing, saying, "This is you two texting."  Language barrier to communicating sucessfully.

Pointing, again, hoping: "Those are your ponytails."  Comprehending.  Calling friend over.  Laughing.

Returning to texting.  Returning to drawing.
