You would think that moving to an English-speaking country that you'll be safe from having communication breakdowns. That is what I thought until I was shopping and ordered a combo from Mcdonalds.
We had a complete communication breakdown as he had no idea what it was suppose to mean. He kept asking me if I wanted chips and drink with that and at first, I thought that he was teasing, because his friends were laughing... but I kept protesting and saying: "Well, I did order a combo and that is what comes with a combo"...and it turns out that they use the word: "Meal" instead of combo. My mum told me the next day. Oh woe!
