Well, that wasn't that difficul twhen going to the supermarket or the post office,. However, when I wanted to speak with some friends, it was quite frustrating not being able to express myself as I wanted to (even if your friends kept telling you how good you're at Japanese. *g*).

You may know that the Japanese think that if a stranger can speak their mother tongue, this is *damn* impressive. *lol*
At least that's how I felt it. :))

It's be so great if you could there. Every single day is a new discovery! :)
