Boozin' and Schmoozin'

Today was the start of lessons. We learned the art of bowing (easy,) exchanging business cards (why the hell is this so complicated?) and answering the phone (dear lord I hope I never get put on the phone.) It was all taught in Japanese and for the most part I understood it. Tomorrow we learn keigo, which is the most formal way of speaking, usually reserved for the workplace. Which explains why the Waseda students at college were wondering why the hell we were learning it.

This evening, the group decided to go out to the local mall at Narita for food and exploration. We weaved in and out of the mall, home to a supermarket which had the vitals. Fruit, ready made bento boxes, snacks, and four liter bottles of cheap-ass whiskey.

Somewhere, my dad is going "WHISKEY HAS AN E IN IT."

There are also four liter bottles of cheap-ass Japanese vodka and three liter bottles of cheap-ass sake. I think this is what bottled rock bottom looks like.

Things I learned today...
- Whiskey is spelled "whisky."
- Alcohol comes in four liter bottles.
- You can iron shirts with shower steam and mattresses.
- There's always room for tea.
- Business card limbo!
