I did it! Yes, this is the meaning for yatai. So, what do you do when you a foreigner in France? Well, you take the opportunity to learn a new language... like, japanese! :-PLast year I decided to re-start my japanese lessons... because you never now when you'll find a lost japanese tourist around Paris! eheh
The first quarter has ended and I passed the final exam. Well, it was a basic japanese test but it's a start! :-P
I will continue with the lessons, of course... until I become a japanese jedi master! eheheh
Some of you already know my deep passion for Japan and its culture, food and the wonderful people.
It's not that difficult japanese language once you understand the basics. The grammar is easier than french, spanish or italian, and you don't have several ways to pronounce a syllable like in chinese! :-P
On the other hand they can complicate stuff. The way you count persons, animals, long and small objects is totally different. If you have 5 kids, 5 cats, 5 pens and 5 cars... well, you will have a headache! eheh
Although it isn't a personal resolution for this year, I will add the japanese certificate (later this year) to my "to-do" list for 2009! eheh
So, next time you go to Japan and you need help to walk around there... you can invite me. For sure I won't refuse! ;-)

Well, my friend, you've just completed one of my own personal goals. That's the difference between us: I want to do some things and you actually do them! Congratulations! I hope one day I manage to do the same so we can speak to each other in japanese...
