Good Times in Tokyo

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

Which way to the magic?

As an update to my laundry, it's all dry and folded now. We had a sort of sunny day. It was really muggy and kind of cloudy though.

Today was Japanese 5 and International Politics. Japanese 5 doesn't look like it will be too terribly bad. We just read a book. And the book has a lot of words in it that I know, so that helps a lot. The teacher is nice, but speaks really fast and kind of slurs so I can't always understand him.

International Politics looks like it will be good. The teacher is really interesting. He used to work as the ambassador (or something like that) for the USSR in Japan. And knows a lot about a lot. He wanted to have us all do a discussion about what the world should do with the problem surrounding the Iraq war and America being the sole super power and all that. He was surprisingly very pro-American but called the 2000 election "a horrible event for the world". When you hear people from other countries discussing the US, they usually don't make the distinction between the Bush Administration and the actual American people. So it's nice that he makes that difference out. I also accidently put my name down wrong and so he thinks my first name is "Dixon".
