Have you ever gotten your nails done? Hands? Toes? Anything? I've gotten those fake french tip nails twice before: once for Senior Ball and again for my friend MacKenzie's wedding. It was a nice bonding experience with my girlfriends, but something was the same each time that we went: the workers were all Vietnamese.
Yesterday for the first time in my life, I got a pedicure. As with the previous two times going into the nail salon, the lovely ladies that were pampering me were Vietnamese. I consider myself pretty good at understanding people with thick Asian accents, but boy was it hard this time. Plus, since I went alone, I didn't have my girlfriends to talk to right next to me.
Watch this youtube video and it will give you a glimpse of what I went through yesterday...

See what I went through?! Plus it's hard to say no to things that they say because they make it sound so good. Then when you see their small children running around the store because they have nowhere else to go, I just feel sorry for them and feel like I have to say yes. Luckily, I still got away with the minimum.
Love that video. I actually really have the urge to start talking in a thick accent now. We should work on that.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to share how that old dude payed for your manicure. I still think it's creepy.
He was a nice, kind, old man just willing to make someone's day. I didn't want to write about him because then everyone will think that he's a perv. Just because I look like a knocked up 16-year-old and he was an old guy with nasty feet doesn't mean that he's a creep. Though, I can see why people would think that.
ReplyDeleteok so i didn't watch the video but no joke, I just got my first pedicure ever too! Crazy! And, of course they were all vietnamese at the nail shop!
