Translator

I was with Paul Oberman (Australian colleague) in a bakery in Toa Payoh as he wanted to get something to snack on. Conversation went something like this:

Paul (with aussie slang) : Hey, can you help me ask them how much are these..?
Me (to counter staff) : Excuse me ah, this one how much ah?
Counter staff : Two dollar
Me : It's two dollars Paul.
Paul : Thank you.

Made me realise that sometimes.. he needs a translator every once in a while.
