nihongo ga wakarimasen

hhmmnnn....
today, 2 beses akong natanong ng mga strangers kung ano ako... (at hindi po ako kalabasa....)

one was in a store. the old guy in the counter asked me something in nihongo... nasa utak ko, gusto kong sabihin na "nihongo ga wakarimasen"... kaso i was in shock... hehehe... di ko nasabi, pro mukhang nahalata nya naman. so sabi nya "where are you from" or something like that. (nak ng tofu, marunong naman pla mag-english!) so sabi ko "Philippines". He asked me kung meron na daw akong discount card, i said no, so he gave me one. On our way out, he said, "Salamat po" (nak ng tofu tlaga, marunong naman pla ng tagalog!!!... hehehe... ) Cool noh? hehehe...

another incident was in the train papuntang magome., nung pauwi na kme. We were sitting next to an old japanese guy. Nung mga bandang gitna na nung ride, he said "Singapore-jin", "Vietnam-jin"... etc... So i said "Firipin-jin desu". Sa loob-loob ko, finally, may nasabi na kong nihongo... hehehe... Tpos, he asked me something in nihongo uli... na syempre di ko gets... so sabi ko "nihongo ga wakarimasen" . Then he said, "Ah, gomen..." Dun ko na-realize na amoy beer pla sya... hehehe.. lasengots pla c lolo... hehehe...

and this is just day two?!!! hirap tlaga pag halata na hindi ka native dun sa lugar. atleast sa cebu, pag nagsalita ka, dun lang halata... dito, few feet away pa lang, alam na nilang "outsider" ako...
which i guess has it's pros and cons... hehehe...

nga pla...i'd like to take this opportunity to thank pimsleur's and sensei rochelle... hehehe... kahit papano may nagamit ako, bukod sa "ohayou"... hehehe....

nagkamali kame ng baba ni frank ng train... bumaba kme sa Togoshi (ata... hehehe) basta one or 2 stations away from Magome... hehehe.... Since sayang ang pamasahe, nilakad na lang namin... 1 Km walk in freezing Tokyo... hehehe... Thank God for winter clothes... In fairness, di sya ganun kalayo... Tsaka nice din na maglakad-lakad sa isang bagong lugar... hehehe
Habang naglalakad, dun ko na-realize na napakarami tlagang vending machines dito... sayang di ko nabilang, pro cguro around 10 vendos yun.... 10 vendos within 1KM... wow.... dami!!!
