lost in translation

the japanese student's sensei doesn't speak much english and he's nothing short of adorable and so funny. we totally bonded with him the first night by sitting with him during our welcome dinner. he was all about us reading the funny phrases out of leah's translation book (mind you, our first attempt at speaking their language would be about inappropriate things). for instance, under the sex phrases: 'just let me do this myself'.

so we're all drunk/30 hours sleepless, straight off the plane, speaking ing horrible japanese, and eating dish after dish of unknown amazing food. it was the best way to start our trip.





i'm not turning any food down. you'd be proud. i ate octopus balls today. i know what you're thinking. not testicles. but deep fried balls with octopus in them. yummmm!
