... how wonderful it would be to see and be with them just one more time
Shinpachi, in Fukuyama in 1986 few people had met a foreigner they just panic and dont think straight she wasnt kidding she was really embarrassed. I have no doubt she wouldnt forget the chop sticks with a Japanese. + there is a famous suspension bridge near Fukuyama she may have thought I wanted directions.
I met a Japanese in London who lived near Saint Pauls Cathedral, taxi drivers were always taking him to Centre Point (a large office block famous in London). Japanese instinctively end a word with a vowel and he always put an "O" on the end of Saint .......Sainto Paulso sounds more like Centre Point than Saint Pauls
When a gentleman is handsome, a young lady often tries to take a longer time to talk to him, TEC
I remember myself in San Francisco in/around 1979. I wanted to buy tobacco at a street stall but the owner could not understand my English. I said "Lark, please". "Ha?".
"Lark!".
"What?"
"Would you mind if I may ask you to give me a packet of cigarettes, please???"
"Which one?"
"Marlboro"
"Here it is."
I don't know what was wrong with my "Lark" yet
The owner looked a Chinese but no English no business on the street.
For Japanese the letters "r" and "l" are always problematic, its the same for native North American Indians which adds forther proof to the connection.
The girl didnt speak a word of english and I didnt speak Japanese...she was cute though
Wow! I have ever heard that Fukuyama is famous for beauties.
I must visit there once.
Thanks for your information, TEC!

TEC, didn't say they were schoolgirls, just that you had them dress up in schoolgirl outfits, you know, like the Monsignor and the naughty schoolgirl

TEC, if that's the kind of sailor uniform your dad wore he wasn't in our navy.
