no words can describe...

I have new sympathy for non-English speakers in the U.S. Doing the most ordinary things becomes the biggest hassle when you can't communicate verbally.

Like buying a bar of shower soap. You have to play charades to find out whether it's hand soap or body soap. And figuring out which mascara is waterproof, and which is regular. Oh, and there's only one color of mascara here: jet black. Bah.

Also interesting (and annoying) -- Big C, the Thai Walmart, doesn't sell contact solution. They have food, clothes, electronics, makeup, toiletries... everything else... but not contact solution.
