She can read, write and speak it (but I guess she's a bit rusty from her post) and spent her first year post college teaching English in Japan. She worked for American Airlines for quite a while as a flight attendant on the Tokyo route. She has some stories of customers saying stuff (insults)amongst each other thinking she had no idea what they were saying. Imagine their surprise when she spoke to them in their language. She quit the AA job and is working on getting her teaching certificate and hopes to teach French to high schoolers.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the snow! It's around 40 and windy here in the forest. :)Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09835397668358542501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13444106.post-50450369290190186822007-12-05T09:25:00.000-06:002007-12-05T09:25:00.000-06:00I'm completely rusty, but near as I can make out, ...I'm completely rusty, but near as I can make out, the caption reads:<BR/>Jack O' Lantern [that's a guess from context, neither the kanji combo nor the furigana given appear in my dictionaries] made in UK region (Michael Fisher photo).

I half imagine that it'll be some bizarre insult. Which would actually be kinda cool. Then again, I enjoyed being called a gringo by mexican street kids, so maybe I'm a bit off.TheFishmongerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18338292298898562493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13444106.post-13837860185642561522007-12-04T20:53:00.000-06:002007-12-04T20:53:00.000-06:00I have asked my sister to translate for you.
