Somewhat weird - but only just
mr.sumo snr.
mid-twenties introduces herself as an operator of an English school for
toddlers and kindergarten kids near the local Apita.
I sense a sales pitch coming - and prepare myself for not being able to play
the "chotto wakaranai" card. Then she says "nihongo daijoubu desu ka? eigo
ha muzukashii...".
"Yeah...right...of COURSE I'm going to recommend your school to my students'
mothers. That's all they need - another, can't speak a word of English,
English teacher. Oh, and BTW if you think that's close to Apita then you
need to buy a new depth of vision along with a sense of perspective".

Nice one! I only ever seem to get the newspaper salesmen (who are usually
easily frightened by a foreign face) and the Jehovah's Witnesses (who
aren't).

My newspaper guy /is/ a foreign face. I'm guessing he is Brazillian.

mr.sumo snr.
news:sAoVa.60$U8...@news1.dion.ne.jp...
The 'Witnesses' congregate about 50 meters from my house, next to several
rice fields, and would appear to plan their recruitment route (pronounced as
if talking about getting a shag in Austria - and NOT as if talking about
just how good the aforementioned shag was in Sepponia).
So far they've always walked past my front door - which, as a former
fundamentalist basher from my college days, always comes as a disappoinment.
I'm always impressed by the way they have an answer for an language
problems - can't find God in Japanese? Then here's an English version.
