Today was another day of traveling but I had enough time to also do some sightseeing. Taking the subway in Tokyo was much easier than it was yesterday, since I knew what I was doing. I discovered that when I put Y200 in for my Y160 ticket, I didn’t get change back. Must be exact change only when pay ...

Well, I’m in Japan now! It’s 8:10 PM local time, 3:10 AM home time, as I start to consolidate everything that’s happened since boarding the plane almost 14 hours ago. First? I’m surprisingly more awake than I expected to be. Second? Holy crap I’m in Japan. It finally hit me as the plane was taking o ...

Sometimes the simplest things really get me irritated. Like my Italian homework last night. I’ve changed and am now doing my course through the Uni of NSW (fantastic courses for anyone interested in starting to learn a second language). Anyway, each week we’re asked to write a half page on some topi ...

Religion. It’s a difficult enough topic when you’re discussing it in your native language. Try translating your beliefs from English to German so they can be understood in Italian. My friend from school asked me about my faith last week, specifically whether using “God” as an oath or exclamation was ...

When I was out with my friends the other day, we stopped in Marienplatz and listened to a really good band that was playing some kind of benefit concert. The emcee announced something that I thought had to do with a church, and then a man came by a few minutes later, rattled off something in German, ...

I had a good day on Thursday. I walked around Munich with a couple other students, conversing in a mixture of broken German and English (with the other two going off in Italian when they were trying to figure something out). It was challenging, but we mostly managed to understand each other. There a ...

::… candies i don’t devour… :: BOO! are you spook? Being abroad, an expatriate, there’s always “The Language Barrier”. Ponder about it, it’s not just the language barrier that we have trouble understanding others but also in expressing ourselves, there are also other barriers that cause much dispute ...

At one time or another, we all make a mistake of gargantuan proportions. When the wife asked for a potential destination for a short trip, I foolishly answered ‘France’. I completely forgot that the place was almost exclusively full of the French. As soon as we arrived I appreciated the gravity of m ...
