So it's been awhile since I last posted...Gomen nasai (sorry in Japanese)!!! I am really enjoying teaching here in Japan! Each day is very different and they do say that "variety is the spice of life," so that's a good thing!!! :) I've made some good friends with some of my Japanese students! Here's a picture with my Japanese student, Ayaka who is my tomodachi (good friend)!
I'm still trying to learn Japanese though, which is going very very slowly. I'm happy to tell you though that my Hindi is pretty damn good! I went to an Indian Restaurant called Raja yesterday and spoke to these two really nice ladies (they own the restaurant) in Hindi...It felt fantastic to be able to speak in another language in Japan!!!! But, I'm really enjoying Osaka and all it has to offer!
The one thing I love about Osaka is it's people! Osakans (Kansaites) are some of the most friendly people on Earth (and that is not an overstatement) and they will go out of their way to help you! I know I am definitely going to go through reverse culture shock when I get back to the U.S.! I do miss my friends and family in Colorado, New York, and India!
I miss Indian stuff too! But I am teaching some Bhangra to the other teachers, which is really fun! You all know my obsession with Bhangra! The Bhangra/Bollywood continues!!!! I even went to a Diwali party here in Osaka with my yaars! It totally rocked and I danced with this Rajastani guy (I think his name was Vineet) and these two girls from New Delhi for two hours! I really enjoyed dancing on the stage!
