So let’s get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France

November 18th, 2008

After a month, a small series of minuscule—yet glorious!—moments from Sendai:

  • The warmth of a flannel scarf overpowering the itchiness.
  • My first attempt at humor in Japanese garnering an honest laugh (not that teenage Japanese girls are the toughest audience, but I’ll take it).
  • The first time I was called ‘Greg-kun.’
  • Writing hiragana with comfortable confidence!
  • Hot vending machine latté on a chilly Sendai morning.
  • Referring to items more normally in 日本語 than in English.
  • Bowing gently from my 自転車 (bike) as I am waved past a construction site by a bowing worker with a blinking red baton.
  • The slow, consistent graduated steps of spoken Japanese from unintelligible mush to beautiful patterns.
