Little triumphs:
- walking into a restaurant by myself
- enquiring about the food (Tsuke men) and ordering it
- understanding the replies
- getting the hang of the Japanese keyboard
- finding my way to 1st company from the train station without asking anyone
Gaffes:
- completely stumped by this girl's rapidfire speech at an Internet cafe
i mean, lousy as i am, i couldn't understand a _single_ word
the other cashier must have been thoroughly entertained
- not knowing the word for "plastic bag" and having to ask the cashier what on earth he was talking about
poor guy, he must have thought i was nuts or something
