Misunderstandings

I'm used to people in the US not understanding my English. This starts with my name. Either I have to pronounce it very carefully, or everyone thinks I'm called Casey. This was more awkward when I was a small child with very short hair as everyone thought I was a boy called Casey.

Today I decided to have sushi for lunch and ordered a rainbow roll. I am not a sushi expert, more of a sushi glutton, but the place at work is cheap, and fresh (they make it right at the counter). The cashier called out what I thought was "rainbow roll". But his accent was quite strong (Japanese, I'm assuming!) and it was, in fact a dragon roll. It was very pretty though and very tasty. I may have that one again.
