Reading charlie's journal

I flew into Tokyo on Wednesday. I made it all the way to my friends station in Kanagawa by myself.　　That saves them about $50.

Last time my friends picked me up, and I hardly had a chance to use any of my Japanese. I kind of cheated this time and used a bus which is slower, but it`s a lot less confusing than a train.
It`s confirmed Ms. Maude, I had a friend here tell me I`d be a good travel writer, and I didn`t even bring it up.

Yesterday I went and visited my friend`s junior high English class. I also ended up in the middle of a Q&A session for the class. Lots of questions like

• Do you like hamburgers? and

• Would you marry a Japanese woman or American and why?

And of course everyone asked if the teacher was my girlfriend. I guess teenagers are pretty similar everywhere.

I`m keeping a journal, sort of, and I`ll write more in depth when I get back. ^_^

Please contiune to vote AND post.

Wow, I wish you a great luck in this big adventure of yours. I know it must be very challenging, and you will definitely enjoy and learn from it because I can really sense (not only in this post, but I am also referring to the previous ones about this topic) that you have a certain passion for all of this.

I am sure that when you get back you will have grown spiritually, and you'll be richer of a new, cool experience. I, being a foreign language student and having teaching as one of my many goals, am very interested in such posts, and can't wait to know more about all that is happening to you: the pros and cons, and everything about the Japanese culture, people and whatnot :)

Thank you for posting here your experiences. I look forward to reading a new addition to the thread.
