Quotes from Japan

I just unearthed my travel notebook from my trip to Japan earlier this year. Reading these quotes make me feel so nostalgic...もう一度日本に行きたい!


Liam (on the dangers of racial stereotyping): Just because I'm Asian doesn't mean I can use chopsticks!


Liam (on dying...): If we die, we die.
Everyone else on the bus: ...


Liam (whilst playing Scatteories in ping pong): What? Cheesecake IS a drink!

Bec (the same 'drinks' round of ping pong): Pizza!


Alysha (during our APU lecture on Intercultural Communication, hearing the lecturer say 食べるスピード or 'taberu supeedo' meaning "eating pace"): Is he talking about drugs?


Sarah (for...whatever reason...apparently this came from a movie?): Oh HAROO Hans!


Kathy (after arriving at our destination in Fukuoka): Are we waiting for the next shinkansen (bullet train)?

Bec (to Sarah whilst keeping score for ping pong): Let's go to Egypt and become 'architects' and dig up some ancient tombs!

Sarah (whilst it's her turn to score...with the score at 1:1): ...So it's one all right? Which way?

Me (whilst in a shop selling big necklaces with pendants shaped like a key and a lock): Does the key actually fit in the lock? (Hey! It was a valid question!)
