I love when a bathroom is busy and people are using those hand dryers non stop- basically the same function as this sound machine. Remember the story of how I was "disciplined" and eventually reassigned to another job in part for telling the kids that I had to poop. I did it because I was so embarrassed about going to the bathroom in a closet in their classroom? Sliding cardboard door, sink in my lap. HA! LOVE IT!

Being called by my last name by judith http://japan1000.wordpress.com/2008/10/26/57-being-called-by-my-last-name/#comment-26 judith Sun, 26 Oct 2008 12:53:39 +0000 http://japan1000.wordpress.com/?p=51#comment-26 Well expressed! And one more reason for the displacement we feel in moving back and forth between cultures. I also like the way that "O-kyaku-sama!" works, when a clerk needs to call after a customer who has left something behind. "Doubly-honorable Mr./Mrs./Miss Customer" is just not something I've ever heard in America. Well expressed! And one more reason for the displacement we feel in moving back and forth between cultures.

It would be a fun "winter doldrums" thing, too, if you did it in January instead of your actual birthday. In 2009 coming of age day is January 12. (They moved many holidays in Japan to Mondays) What a great idea! It would be a fun “winter doldrums” thing, too, if you did it in January instead of your actual birthday.
