There was this little asian lady

There was this little asian lady. Must have been Chinese... in China Town. She was standing at the corner and had a note pad and a metro map. She was smiling and saying something to me. I was looking at her and stoped, said, "okay." She handed me the note pad and a pen and pointed to a station on the map. "Rockville." "Wockville." She repeated. She was smilling and nodded at the note pad, so I wrote down, "Rockville Metro," and handed it to her. She took the pad and pen back, and turned around and headed off. She must have known where she was going, she just needed someone to write it down for her. Hey, I've been there. I guess English can be just as hard to write as one of those Asian languages, if you don't know it.
