My Japanese girl
Well in fact my Japanese girl is Taiwanese. Today I just would like to write a few words about this girl I met when I lived in Japan. She is the one who somehow taugh me so much Japanese…
We lived in the same city, I was trying to find places to learn Japanese with an very nice ?爺?ん.
I am glad I changed my lesson’s day this night. I usually don’t communicate much with people around because eh I don’t speak Japanese. But this night, 2 groups were conversing in Japanese. Mine and her’s. She sounded like she was native, I still cannot imagine why she was taking classes. Oh well, my 先生 hooked us up by just introducing me to her. I have to thank him for that. Shy as usual I don’t really say anything, but it happened that we were heading home by the same route, so as talkative as she is we chatted.
It was about 8pm when the lesson ended and then times flew and we had to part. I had being living for while in Japan, without friends to meet – I had friends but we would never meet because they became real salarymen – and it was the first time for me to actually met someone and talk with this person. So I had to do something, I could not just let her go without a contact info, remember I had to change my lesson date and I figured out that she had too so there would be no way to talk to her again. I probably had thought the sentence 1-2 minutes and it came out: 時間????ら?コーヒー飲???ん?？
I am glad I used all the courage I had to say that – I know me and I am sure I would not have say anything. She said YES. So we were off for a coffee and chatted. Well she chatted and me trying to catch up. This taiwanese girl has been studying Japanese for while now and she is very fluent, and me I have never keep up my Japanese and I am still very bad. But she would do the discussion and I would follow and interact as much as I could. It was a good duo that ended up about 2-3 hours later with her giving me her meishi and me saying that I would when I’ll start working – yeah it was before I start working for ロイター and before going to 石巻.
And we would hang out together from time to time. Not as much as I wanted too, she obsiouly had more friends that I did and were way more busier than me. Oh well, coffee, dinner, seaquarium, attraction park, we were a good team… we would even try 居酒屋 together sometime.
Then you know, I had to leave Japan.
I met her today on msn, well she left a message while I was away yesterday – I most of the time forgot to logout my msn when going back home. And we chatted for about 3 hours in Japanese. She said she missed me and yeah I missed her too, honto
The more interesting in this story is that I didnot know she has a really good English – and Mandarin of course, but this I knew. And everytime we would meet, we would chat in Japanese, always.
