my main point in writing this is that my need to improve my nihongo is dire. i have learned quite a bit of the basics from rie. though she seems to get a little frustrated when i keep bugging her about how to say something over and over. (;
i don’t know what to expect really. i feel like I need to do so much while i’m there to make the trip worth it. it will be a very takai trip (notice my slow integration of japanese words?). the flight will be a big expense. i even tried applying for another chase credit card hoping my new account would have me eligible for an additional 25,000 united miles. apparently, a japan roundtrip from LA to narita is 60,000 united miles. unfortunately, i was denied since i had been awarded a chase card only some 2 months ago. oh well, you can only be so chang and get away with things.
Hey Jay….I remember when Mark and I went to Tokyo in March. It was sooo cold. Poor Kaitlyn…she was freezing. We just returned from a trip home on Oahu and decided to stop over in Tokyo for a couple of days. It was so much fun that we went back to Tokyo in June. That is when we took Jake to Disneyworld. You guys will have so much fun! Jake is taking Japanese and is pretty good at it. As for me….even though I lived in Okinawa and Nihongo was the majority….I am ashamed to say….I’ve only learned the necessities. How much…where to eat…and what foods are good!!!
