Toire wa doko desu ka?
I am SO excited to go to Japan. SO excited!! We had a meeting today and worked on some Japanese and learned what we will be doing while we are there. It is going to be good.
I am a chaperone for middle school students that are going, which sounds like a bad combination. But those kids are fun! I hope they stay that way when we are traveling and everything, but at least they're nice now. It'd be really scary if they were not very nice to begin with.
Earlier today, before the meeting, I was trying to work on some of the Japanese phrases because we were supposed to have most of the phrases in our notebook learned by now...some of it was kind of frustrating cause I found myself thinking--when am I going to use this? Well, maybe I would use some of the phrases, but it seems like I should learn some more of the essentials first and THEN work on some of the obscure ones. Yes, asking "Where is the dishwasher?" might come in handy, but I think I'll probably be asking "Where is the restroom?" more than that!
I was thinking about how when I was a kid I used to say that phrase "My mother is Chinese, my father is Japanese, and I'm inbetween." I wonder how my host family would react to that!? Better yet, I found out tonight that I'm supposed to give a speech while we're there...That would be an even better place for that!
For the record, I CAN ask "where is the bathroom", so I guess I've got all the important bases covered.
