Guten Morgen!


I walked around alone in Basel
while Miyako took her classes in the Uni.

First, I went to a kind of big electoric shop
to buy a recharge card for my mobile phone.
The clerk couldn't speak English, spoke only Swiss German.
Although we could understand loughly each other.
After that another clerk who spoke English well came to me,
and then translated about the recharge card very kindly.
However, the shop didn't accept any credit card, so I couldn't buy it.
So sad...

Secondly, I went to kiosk near the shop.
The clerk couldn't speak English at all, and also I couldn't use the credit card.

Thirdly, I visit another electric shop.
The clerk spoke English. Wow, cool! But...of course, any credit card weren't accepted!

And then, I tried another kiosk,
but the clerk speak only Swiss German and I couldn't use any credit card as well!

Then, I tried to ask it again at another electric shop, unfortunately not!
Oh,my goodness!

Finally, I found a quite big electric shop, sounds good!
Yeh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
English was OK, and also the credit card was OK!

Holy shit!
