When hr_macgirl and I were in Tokyo, we went to a department store to buy her a yukata. We spoke effectively no Japanese, and the saleswoman spoke no English.
It was a wonderful and amazing experience. We said "yukata", she pointed at hr_macgirl, we nodded, she measured height by eye, walked over to the shelf, picked up a package, pointed at the numbers on it (which matched hr_macgirl's height in cm), we picked a pattern we liked, and we bought it. Everyone smiled at each other and we said "domo arigato".
