I've been there before, You spend enough time practicing how to say something in mandarin and when you get talked to in English your brain goes on a holiday trying to figure out if it's rude to reply in Mandarin.

Ugh, so, no coffee for you? Fuck your life, indeed! I'm getting a caffeine-withdrawal headache just thinking about it! And why did he speak to you in English? Because you're white? That's so racist!!!

Many people in Asia are fluent in English as well. It's a required class they have to take in Japan.
