They took him AGAIN!

I had my first japanese lesson today! Our training session was damn scary today! We had to do practice lesson stuff in front of the group. It went alright actually, I made an idiot of myself being all over enthusiastic and shouting "good morning!!!" a lot. Two new girls joined us as well and one of them studied neuroscience!!!!! As you can imagine I was very excited and kind of drowned her in minimai babble. She didn't seem to mind though, we've exchanged contact details and all. After training we went back to the main office where I was told I will be doing ANA testing on Friday (I am going to be the english examiner to stewardesses, and giving them grades!!!! check me out!)

After that we met some other teachers in the teacher room and found out that there will be a free Japanese lesson in half an hour for staff. Obviously I was like "jaaaaaaa I wanna do it!" So we made friends and went to the lesson. It was all basic stuff I could do, which is still comforting, as I kinda know where I am at now. So that was pretty cool!

Now I am back at the hotel and to my horror, discovered that Herbert is gone AGAIN!!!!!!! What the fudge?????? So I walked to the reception and sheepishly told the receptionist. I guess now its just wait and see...He has set the staff on the mission to search for him again. Poor Herbert must be so fed up by now! So I'll keep you posted on that - I am sure you're all dying to know if he is safe! :-p

Interesting fact of the day: If you decide to go and chat up a woman wearing a beautiful kimono; check whether the arms of the kimono are long or short. Long arms mean she is unmarried. short ones means she is married. Even the wedding dress kimono (the white blanket one called a shiromuku) still has long arms! Oh and that weird covering on her head is supposed to "cover the horns". I have no idea what that means...I shall go and research it!
