Thoughts before the new year

Tomorrow is the spring semester of Hosei. And that makes it the beginning of the school year, kind of like September in the US.

Here are some good quotes for you from the recent days .

"To me, the US is the third world. You get paid $5 an hour and don't even get health care from your government"

Good ol' Quentin explaining the US. You have to love the French.

"I saw so many girls around you. Is it because of the orange jacket?"

Some guy at the Hanami party from the Hi-C. Could it just be because I'm irrisitible to screaming Japanese girls?

"Your skin is so white, that's great"

The same guy at the Hanami party, right before he walked off. I really wanted to know where he was going with that.

"Your high school was just like the movies. catzo."

Atilla when I ever told him about North. Or anything else about America really. I think Atilla has seen more American movies than I have, and believed them.

"You speak such good Japanese. Is it because you have a Japanese girlfriend? ::wink:: ...no? I can't believe that! ::another wink:: "

My newest student when I met her last time. These kind of questions don't help the feeling I'm an escort one bit. Plus my Japanese sucks, compliments like that know it's flirting. It's like me complimenting Paris Hilton on her acting skills.


Oh, and Today I got a haircut and at the end the barber gave me a face and back massage complete with hot towels and a massage machine. What a country.
