I Have A Bad Case Of Diarrhea

Trust me, you don't need to speak if you have a bad case of diarrhea! Reminds me of the time when I was in a JAL plane enroute to Los Angeles when I had a really, really bad case of diarrhea. It must have been the inflight sushi meal. The queue to the toilet was long and I badly had to go. Desperate needs called for desperate measures. Bending over double, I groaned loudly and pointed to my butt, faking excruciating pain. The person in front of the queue immediately gestured to me to take his place! See, no Japanese needed!

Enjoy this video of Japanese learning how to speak English.

Josh's First Violin Recital

At the end of every month, the kids at Josh's violin class are encouraged to give a recital together with the students from other music schools. I gave Josh my word that I will not share any videos of him performing until he can handle a 'real' song. He was kinda embarrassed 'cos he could only fiddle baby songs as he started taking lessons only 2 months ago.

 

Here are the photos to share.
