From two days ago because library computers die....
Hey all,
Not too much has happened since I last wrote since I`ve been more or less studying these past two days. Though, I seem to still have gotten very little done :/
I have determined that the switch from `ohayou gozaimasu` to `konnichiwa` is around 10:30 am. I say this because it was a bit before 10:30 when I was walking over here (to the library) and two women I greeted with `ohayou gozaimasu` responded with `konnichiwa` and when I entered the library and bowed in greeting to the librarians at the front, they said `konnichiwa` as well.
Hm... I can`t think of what I was going to say..
Oh, yeah, last night at the Eigo Salon (have I mentioned that here yet? It`s every Wednesday night from 7:30 to 8:30 and members from the community are invited to come and practice their English with us, native English speakers. The past two times these really cute middle schoolers have come. But they still know so little... it`s kinda like me trying to speak Japanese... I can sometimes form a question, but I can`t really understand the answer most of the time XD At the end, I got to talking to some of the other foreigners who aren`t in our group because they stayed after everyone else left. There is a guy from Holland who is doing a homestay, one of the girls there was his homestay sister, and a girl from.. I can`t remember where, it`s not America though, and two Phillipense (did I spell that right?) guys. The Dutch boy has been here only 5 days or so and only had a four day crash course on the language. He`s here for 5 weeks. The other girl has bee here since March and will be here for a total of about a year. The one guy from the Philipense (why can`t I spell this word? >_<) has been here two years and the other one year. And they mentioned at one point this thing they go to on Saturdays where volenteers help them with their Japanese... so I gave the one girl my number so hopefully I`ll get to go to that. :)
Well, that`s all for now ya`ll!
