Choose your language

Back in the day in Texas and Florida, I only recall spanish being the only other language option at an ATM machine. Well, here in Torrace, CA, the options are English, Spanish, Chinese or Japanese (not sure which), and an eastern European language (maybe Czech?).

I was just up in Mountain View, CA and was in the little downtown area. There were 3-4 Italian restuarants, 3 Viet, a couple Thai, and a Mexican. The oddest one was one of the Viet ones that was also an upscale bar. Anyways, I was eating at one of the Italian places and in the bathroom, the sign asking people to wash their hands was in english, spanish, viet, and chinese. Oddly enough, no italian.
