I've often heard it said by various people I know that I'm not easy to embarrass. This is sadly not the case. I don't find taking a picture of Japanese school kids in their uniforms embarrassing, look in many Japan guidebooks and you'll see similar pictures. I don't feel embarrassed asking a doujinshika for a sketch, the worst they will say is no and most are flattered. I don't feel embarrassed speaking in horrible broken Japanese to people in Japan. At least I am trying and how else can one improve?
However, there are things that embarrass me horrifically.
Yes, Osaka is a tiny village with no building taller than 2 stories and surrounded by rice fields. People from Osaka have never heard of Pizza Hut, Dennys, or Starbucks and most certainly have never eaten in one of those before. Nothing in Japan tastes sweet and they all like simple things and eschew brand names.
*rolls eyes*
That was sarcasm for those who can't tell.
By the way since I feel cranky, anyone who has not commented on a single one of my LJ entries in the last 6 months is getting cut. You don't have to have commented a lot, just once is all it takes.
