It's commonly thought to be an indicator of personality, and people take it about as seriously as westerners take horoscopes.<BR/><BR/>So, it makes sense that it's listed right next to his star sign.Joe Streckerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848690885706346774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36773120.post-10632316427073048572008-02-23T01:30:00.000+09:002008-02-23T01:30:00.000+09:00Oops!

I found out that it's a historical drama set in the Meiji Restoration on NHK.<BR/><BR/>When I asked my female Japanese coworker if she thought Eita was indeed shoutworthy, she said "He's okay."<BR/><BR/>I'm assuming that this is one of his first mentions in a written English medium. I shall subsequently be taking credit for any and all international success he may have.<BR/><BR/>That's right, Eita...

I hope that you're keeping track of all of these posts and the people in your life because would be one hell of a memoir someday. Actually, <I>this</I> day, if you wanted to frame the narrative arc as your first year in Japan. Anyway, thank you for sharing your experiences with us! I feel like I'm right there with you, with the cold and snow and the building excitement. I feel like I can almost smell the wet gloves and ramen noodles.Sydneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17360198761136198922noreply@blogger.com
