Turning Japanese?

[BootinUp]

I still like this one, haha

[taterguy]

1. I really think so

[Bonobo]

2. I actually AM turning Japanese.

I really know so.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

6. So you're taking out citizenship?

You're about the third J>E translator I know who is doing so.

See you at IJET in Hiroshima?

[Bonobo]

9. Yes, I am.

Don't know if I will go to IJET in Hiroshima. I am not much of an organization type of guy and have never joined a translation association.

11. Well, let see, there's the zen'yasai, the dinner cruise, and all the nijikai

with some sessions in-between.

[Bonobo]

13. Sounds like fun actually.

Are you coming specifically for that?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

16. Yes, that makes the trip partly tax deductible,

(I'll also be doing some long-overdue aisatsu--first trip in five years-- with clients in Osaka and Tokyo) and besides, I've just been elected to the JAT Board.

3. I get a message saying that the video is not available in the country where I am--

Japan

[lovemydog]

4. I think you're turning

Japanese.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

7. Hi, Art!

I'll be in Japan in early June, so I'll PM you when I figure out exactly when I'm going to be in your area.

[Bonobo]

10. PM me too.

I am in Himeji.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

12. That may work out

because I'm returning to Tokyo via Shikoku, which means that Himeji is a reasonable stopover.

15. I was wondering when you were going to come back to the Land of the Rising Sun

or as it's now known, the "Land of the Shaking Ground"

[Lydia Leftcoast]

17. Between money and family issues, it's been nearly five years

But I have my tickets reserved!

[progressoid]

5. Underrated band.

Flashback to Physics class listening to them on my friends walkman!

I rather liked their second album better.

8. I thought you meant this "Turning Japanese"

SCTV was just the best late night TV.

[unionworks]

14. For AsanaKimi

...honorable D.U.er of renoun, I turn Japanese if only in my fondest dreams
