Had a nice visit with an old friend and a new one on Sunday; wished my babe didn't have Chicken Pox so she & Edwin could've joined us for a wonderful dinner, but still, a grand time was had by all - I think ( Read more... )

Oh fun! I love going down to the shore.

The tank? It's really cute or kawaii as they say here.

Japan the country is good. Japan the work assignment is sucking the life out of me. I need to take some vacation time when I get back!!! It's been helpful being here though. :)

Have you heard the English "Mnemonic" to remember how to say "You're Welcome" in Japanese? I know how to say it, but found it hysterical when a Japanese guy in a restaurant used to say it the English/Funny way.

Don't touch my mustache!!!

I crack up laughing whenever I hear it.

I also love.. "alligator woo go thy mass" for arigato gozaimas.

ROFL - I hadn't heard that other one!! My folks hosted a Japanese Exchange TEACHER one time. He was a teacher of English in Japan, but was Japanese. He was teaching ME Japanese while I helped him learn better English - such a blast!! I wish I remembered more of it...I do love the spoken Japanese language. Did your company give you lessons, or did you know it already?

I am picking it up while I'm here from my coworkers. I imagine that if I got sent here for a longer period of time I would probably pick up even more of it. Not sure I would master kanji, katakana, hiragana or gaiji though.

Hai, Wakarimasen.
