Good Times in Tokyo

See what happens when people stop being polite and start getting oolong'd.

Changes

Sorry about changing the site, long story short. I think the lady who was emailing was stalking me, I wasn't too sure but nevertheless I'd rather not risk it. So no more email/addresses up here. crazy people.

anwyay, so today I went to a russian play with some people in my russian class. It was really funny. The people in the play were really into it. All the people were Japanese but their pronounciation was pretty good. Russian is really hard to pronounce, and usually Japanese people have a hard enough time with english. I'm not sure what the play was exactly about, but it involved some sort of dog and a floating corpse or demon. It was all in russian with subtitles on the side in Japanese, but it didn't help much. After the play, we went to say hello to one of our classmates who was in the play. Then I got ambushed by a russian lady who initially thought I was russian, and then after telling her i was american and didn't speak russian very well she said that she wanted to practice english. She was really excited to meet me and wanted me to meet the cast of the play and speak to them in english. Then she asked me for my phone number because she wanted me to meet her daughter so I could practice russian and she could speak english. So funny. This lady was really touchy which was kind of funny in Japan because the Japanese people I was with thought it was the weirdest thing that a lady I didn't know would grab my arm. You are used to being friendly with people in the west, but in Japan you don't really touch people even if you know them well. After the play I ended up hanging out with some people from my russian class. Lots of interesting times because they speak no english. I usually hang out with people that understand a bit of english, so it was hard but good. Then today I had a full conversation on the phone with someone in Japanese, so it was a good day for Japanese skills. haha. not really. I really wish I could subtitle myself and see what I am really saying.
