When a service technician comes, they usually come in pairs. One is the translator and the other is the technician. It is funny watching them do their work, because like anime, they seem to over exaggerate, for example we would just say, "Give me a screwdriver." They say a bunch of jibberish, make wierd hand signals. Then the guy grabbing the screwdriver would hold it like a diamond with both hands, pass it on like a sacred jewel and bow. I find it quite interesting, but time consuming as well. It is like they are putting on an act, but their culture demands it.
