Gaijin-in-JapanBlogging direct from Kobe, Japan
Gaijin isn't a bad word. There just isn't any
other word to describe us. And besides, I'm different and I like it that way. Why else would I decide to leave San Francisco and live here forever? So that I can eat good food? Maybe. |

Last night my friend John brought home his beautiful new wife home from Thailand. They’re going to live here, well, Yokohama actually. WOW. He quit his jobs and is getting ready to start a new career and a new wife in a new city. And I thought MY rollercoaster was interesting. But I have to say, they looked like they are in bliss. Yesterday was his wife’s first day in Japan. Chris decided to show her the special local delicacies like Akashiyakidoufu with a face made out of ginger and green onion. How about some sansho on your salad or maybe you would like to taste this green stuff in your tea (wasabi). Just kidding we only played one or two litttle tiny jokes. I don’t know if she liked the food or not because it was a bit difficult communicating. I had never spoken to a native Thai before so I didn’t know what to expect for an accent–pretty tough. I guess John has developed an ear ’cause most of the time I couldn’t catch what she was sayin’ until she repeated it three or four times and pointed. For now I think his life is going to be more interesting than mine, so stay tuned. Hey Wadman, write a comment. You must be logged in to post a comment. |
