I understand George’s pain.

My Jap buddy DID NOT UNDERSTAND ENGLISH, which is quite understandable, since he most probably was like one of us, who never listens Jap (or in our case, in French with Pohsib), but STILL, he could’ve at least said “I DON’T KNOW HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH”, just like the only thing I learnt from 2 years of French, “Je ne parle francais”, and “Formidable”.

So anyway, they finally arrived, and since we were told that they would sit BEHIND us, we waited for some hot guy to sit behind us. Only to find that the only possibilities was either… 1./ the freakishly looking BALD GUY… 2./ the super short one… 3./ the nerdy one, who looked super shy.

And OMGSH, me (who got the mute guy), Tonia (who got the bald guy) and Annabella (who got the short one, and felt like the guy’s mum)’s buddies were OBSESSED with Owen. We, being very considerate people, decided to ask our buddies if they needed the toilet, to save them from future embarrassment, if you get what I mean.

Me: Would you like to go to the toilet?
My Jap Guy: No… yes… no…
Me: You (points at him)… toilet… (searches brain frantically to find a symbol for toilet)
Tonia: Would you guys like to go to the toilet?Tonia’s Jap Guy: Owen already showed us (and runs off to join Owen)

And then, the bunch of guys start laughing, as if talking to a girl is a crime. They make such a big deal out of nothing. When they got lollies for playing Oz-tag, one of the guy gets licorice and they all start laughing… and “dare” each other to eat it.

And boy, were they mean!

Some random Jap Guy (to my Jap Guy): Who’s your buddy? (Well, he said that in Jap, but I PRESUME he said that…
And then, my Jap Guy points to me…
And the random Jap Guy starts laughing, and soon, both of them are laughing their heads off. That’s the most response I got from my Jap Guy all day.
