Happy about knowing how much money I actually have to spend. Here's a hint: My paycheck today could pay for 500 bowls of Ramen. That's athentic Japanese restaraunt ramen, not the 7¢ stuff you buy in the U.S.

Talked to a girl from Germany today. Introduced her to E Nomine. ipods are truly conversation starters.

Ate Unagi (eel) today. I even ate the head. Very tasty.

So the crash-coarse method of Japanese study... I'm not a fan. I've learned (glossed over) so much that I've basically retained nothing and am right back where I started. But on a positive note I can finally read hirigana competently. Time to study on my own. Time to translate some manga too...
It was a secret, I couldn't tell you.
ReplyDeleteMmm, Unagi.
Mmm, Ramen.
Mmm, Clayton.
;-)
I had ramen once.... no, really.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have been having good times. Keep exploring, and keep up the studying.

Hmmm, is it bad that I agree with Benny up there? ^-~ I like that 7 cent stuff. Lots of cool tricks you can do with it as far as cooking goes....
ReplyDeleteP.S. "WTF?" in a good way. Definitely. ^-~ *hugs*
the 7¢ has it's place, but Ramen in this country can be like caressing a lover if you are a true gormet.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I think Ben agrees with me, especially after we watched tampopo together.
Hey Clay,
ReplyDeleteI know you probably are asking yourself "Why is this guy reading so far back in my blog." But I am bored and am curious what your older posts were.
But what Manga did you start translating on your own? I am sure there is a large range in difficulty of reading in manga...
oh I was kidding myself at that stage; still couldn't do any meaningful reading back then
