indoensia,signapore, hongkong,

I know what album & 45 mean!
I'm not quite 21, either.

I loved it when this lady who was probably 50-ish was confused as to why the "magic player"(her words) cost $200 when the other one was $30. I had to explain over & over the difference between CD, DVD, & MP3s. I eventually ordered the $200 one for her because they wanted to watch their "shiny discs" is what she was told to tell the salesperson!
