How our half of the conversation almost always goes when the phone rings in the teachers' room at school (translations in parentheses)

Teacher: Moshi moshi, sakurai chuugakkou desu. (Hello, this is Sakurai Junior High School)

I hate when the phone rings because I know the next 45 seconds or so are going to be really annoying.

About Me

My name is Lawrence Denes.

After spending 5 years studying Japanese language, culture, literature, and history in St. Louis and Kyoto, I now live in Japan, in a town that most Japanese people have never even heard of, lost amid the rice fields and vending machines.

Please feel free to ask me anything, or send me an email.
