- somewhat immune to advertising as i do not always know what they are saying
- don't know when people are making fun of me, ignorence is bliss
- don't have to listen to annoying converstaions on u-bahn or bars
- don't feel bad about ignoring junkies or other unsavories bothering me
- no uncomfortable small talk with strangers (not that people make small talk here)
- sometimes receiving a meal I ordered is a surprise (not as much, food i know)
- seeing old movies in a new light
- english becomes a treat
- small moments of sucess like ordering give immense pleasure
