Good Times in Tokyo

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

Wednesday

Today I got a call from my work asking me to substitute for a teacher. So I ended up doing 2 classes with adults, so it was a good break from teaching kids. Although I feel kind of funny sometimes because I'm use to teaching kids who don't really try. It was interesting to talk to the students though. They thought it was pretty sugoi (great) that I was studying in Japan.

The past few days I have got some really funny emails on my phone. At first I thought it was junk mail but when I actually read it it seemed too personal to be spam. And it sure isn't spam. Here's a rough translation of what I think it is saying. Parts of it is literal since I don't know what it would be in English.

Subject: I'll write you again

Body:
You were putting that on the site which point price and email price are completely from the clerk, but if you put it that way which is direct...the troubling email has a lot of hate does it? Certainly that commmunity is a men and women's community and has no point, also that place is like a place where there is a lot of famous people. But your directness is tasteless. Because it's free, there are a lot of people using it, lots of different types of people can see it. do you want to touch others by your mischief? or is it different than that? really?

Then again this morning I was written by whoever this is:

Subject: well...did you see the site?

Body: Are you ok? did you put that information on the site by yourself? it's becoming a horrible rumour, but I don't know if it's a true one. It's really risky, eh?

Oh Japan. I don't really know how to respond to this random woman's email. (I say woman because she used women words) It sounds like a Japanese soap opera. I probably should tell her she has the wrong email address, but it's so entertaining.

In other news, yesterday I went to this meeting about some sort of symposium thing in Switzerland in May. So long story short, I may have a chance to go to Switzerland representing Hosei in some symposium about the future for Europe. All sponsored by some company in Europe or Japan. So hopefully that can work out, I mean you can't beat a free trip to Europe to rub elbows with important people in the EU.
