As you know, "Arigato gaimasu", means Thank You in Nihon-go, while "do itashimashite" means "You're welcome"...
When I first moved to Japan, I had trouble saying "do itashimashite" so one of my Japanese friends told me to say "Don't touch my mustace" really fast and softly...either it worked, or the Japanese were too polite to correct me... :shock:
Another memory from Japan...The Japanese have a way with the English Language...for instance, one brand of toilet paper is called "Fanny Wipes"... :lol:
