Mongorujin
They’re loud, they’re obnoxious, they’re hearty fellows and ladies, they are… bum ba da dummmmm!
THE MONGOLS!
If Japanese were white, Mongols would be black. If Japanese were yin, Mongols would be yang. If Japanese were small, Mongols would be huge. Which… THEY ARE! Three of them are in my Japanese class. From L, Jigumet, Tsutsugume, ?, and Norumon. To characterize them, if Japanese are very polite and do not prefer physical contact, the Mongols are they type who would smack you hard on the back if you do something dumb and have a hearty guffaw. I really enjoy these guys. They also hardly speak a word of English, so I basically only talk to them in Japanese. They are a lot of fun. Yes sir.
And in other news, I have so much to do before I leave for China that I don’t know if I will get to post pictures from going to Matsushima with the CCC people visiting from HongKong, or the really cool trip the church took to Kawasaki, or any of the pictures of the billions of animals I catch. But… we’ll see. I got to go. If I do not post again, before coming back from China,
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY (yesterday, but I got to talk with you then and it was great) DAD
When are you off to China and will you return to Japan after your trip there? I posted something on Pau!a’s blog for you as well– guess I’m just feeling super talkative to you since I know we’re in the same hemisphere.
Have a good trip – I’m so glad you finally get to go to China! Don’t eat anything that will make you sick or climb any walls that will fall down on you (you know, because you can tell these things in advance).
