I recall the day I came to stay in my beloved Ehime. There wasn't much I could say to express my confusion at least in Japanese anyway. I was struck by the smell of the staff-room and the dog-like procedure involved when I went to the bathroom. It was a struggle back then. But now I've learned to use the toilet And now after failing nikyu I can speak nihongo, or whatever they call it. Now I can ask a girl for her phone number And after 12 long months I'm pretty bloody good at ikebana. I recall the day I came to stay in my beloved Ehime. There wasn't much I could say to express my confusion at least in Japanese anyway. When I arrived in my town, they said there's a super (market) down the road, and it's not too far, it took two hours by train and another hour by car. I made a nice group of friends in my town, they were a very friendly bunch, but they didn't get let out of the old peoples home, that much. But now I've made friends my own age And now I can read a menu, well at least the first page And now I understand that people don't mean to be dicks When they say with a patronizing smile, that I'm good with chopsticks. I have grown to love the love princess I just wish I had a little more success with the opposite s** Or if I was gay then with the same s**.
