Day 281 [ A very Quiet Christmas Day ]
Merry Christmas Everybody!!!
This is the day we Christians use to "celebrate" the birth of Christ. Even though history shows that the act actually has pagan origins, we Christians somewhat changed the original meaning :) Surely today was a normal working day in Japan.
Today was the first time in my life I can recall spending Christmas away from family and also in another country. I spent almost the entire day in my apartment. I didn't have any big dinner :( nor did I have people around me :( So what better to do than to read my bible, pray and watch anime :) ... I watched 2 anime movies by Miyazaki, a famous anime director guy. They were:
My Neighbour Totoro (Tonari no totoro) [ This cartoon is almost like a Japanese symbol, every kid and adult knows it. Even though it's from 1988]
Howl's moving castle ( Hauru no Ugoku Shiro )
I then went to the Board of Education and collected 2 DVDs of my show which should start airing in my community this coming Sunday. I am going to ask for permission to see if I can put a clip of it on youtube. I am anticipating a big "NO" but I will still ask.
Stewart Panton, you are truly a harsh critic... Even harsher than the four (4) Japanese persons who helped me put the radio program together. They said my pronounciations were pretty fine. And what you don't realise is that this is JAPAN its not an English speaking country, so speaking slowly is the best thing... It has nothing to do with being retard bro, not many people here know English properly. And even though I speak slowly, some persons still won't have a clue what I said. You can't and won't understand unless you come here bro. You have been speaking English all your life so it will sound strange to you and other English speakers. Ask your brother Stephen about it. And even if you come here with your knowledge of the Japanese language, there are still going to be people who don't understand what you are saying, even though you are speaking Japanese...Its strange son.
