#26—POST OFFICE
Where is
the post office?
The post
office. I want to mail a letter.
Is this
the post office?
I want to
mail this please.
Can I
have stamps for this please? It's going to Tupelo.
No, I'm
sorry. All I have is that twenty million bongo note. Is that a lot?
She wants
to know if you have one hundred and seventy-five thousand bongoes in change.
Put your
American money away.
That man
behind us is getting impatient.
Do I have
to put USA on the card?
How do
you say USA in (language)?
How do
you say receipt in (language)?
Maybe we
shouldn't ask for a receipt this time.
The stamps
aren't sticky.
Do I have
to put my own glue on?
Is there
glue for these stamps?
How do
you say glue in (language)?
Where do
I put the postcard?
Is there
someone here who speaks English?
Do I put
the postcard in here?
Are you
sure this is a mailbox?
Maybe
they don't have mailboxes.
Is that
man a policeman/militia/priest/mailman/airline pilot?
Do I have
to wait in line all over again to give the man my postcards to mail?
Maybe we
should just mail them all from LAX/Miami/Kennedy/O'Hare.
Should I
send a post card to my mother's cousin in Palookaville?
Do you
think she'd like this picture of Indian dances?
Do you
think she'd like this picture of independence day celebrations?
Do you
think she'd like this picture of
people picking and sorting tea leaves?
Or the
one of peasants cutting sugarcane?
Or this
500-year old temple/church/mosque?
Did we
see this one or was that another one?
Look at
this post card.
That's
really beautiful, what is it?
It says
here that it's the blank of blank.
Wow,
let's go there.
