So, you'd think that after spending a year and a bit in Japan, my Japanese would be good enough to tell people that I went to Australia to see my friends and family, right?
Well, this card begs to differ. after coming on to my local starbucks on my day off, the starbucks people asked me how come I was in so early, as opposed to my usual late afternoon night visit.
What I wanted to say : "well, funny you should ask actually. I'm not working today since ijust got back Australia last night, after. Going there over the weekend for my friend's wedding. So yeah, I thought I'd need a day off to recover today. "
What apparently came out of my mouth:
"Me returned Australia tomorrow."
So, the natural consequence of that random tidbit of information being mentioned to Starbucks people was to ask more questions about me going home. And being on a roll, the only answers I could come up with were "yes" and having a confused look on my face, since I had no idea what they were asking.
So, after our awesome conversation, one Starbucks lady,
straight perm, (known for her super straight hair, in case you were wondering where we got that imaginative nickname for her) gave me that little card, thanking me for always getting vanilla lattes and stuff.
So, I'm guessing my Japanese still has a fair way to go....
