I sat in a Japanse class today. I happened to walk by the Japanese Language School (around the corner from my hostel) yesterday, and I decided to check it out today. They teach entirely in Japanese (so it can be good for imersion, but bad for explanation). I took a placement test, and they let me join the already going class (in week 6) because of my knowledge. Thanks Dice!

But I didn’t like the class so much. The grammar was very basic - desu, dewa alimasu only. Nothing else. Just vocab practice. This is an apple, blah blah blah. So, I told them I wanted more advance grammar, and they’re letting me sit in the next level tomorrow. I dunno. Perhaps, I’ll just go to the university and try to find a group….

Discoverd a few things today:

(1) All Americans are imperialist bastards. Yes, and I include my self. Here I am, just a guy from the US, mosey on in to Melbourne, and what do I do? I apply for a job and TAKE one from an Aussie. How mean is that?

(2) You can buy pizza by the slice that’s packaged in individual baggies (little flat brown paper bags that hold the pizza for you. They come with wax liners so that the cheese doens’t stick to the paper.

(3) You can buy tandori pizza by the slice that’s packaged in individual baggies.
