Dinner last night was fun. Yuki and Nagao both spoke very good English. Nagao (Yuki's boss) lived in San Francisco for 3 years and Yuki (my host sister from Kanazawa) studied at a Technology Institute in Indiana. I didn't use very much Japanese for most of the night. But then I started to explain something, and explained the whole thing in Japanese (maybe 5-7 sentences), and when I finished they both sat there in shock. They had assumed I didn't know much Japanese because I hadn't been using any. It was really funny.

I would also like to say that I still hate GW Bureaucracy (that word looks funny). Even in a foreign country I can't escape it! With my luck they will forget to ever give me my diploma too. Grrrrrrrr........
