Fun Times...

These were the directions we were given to Michael's battalion's Christmas party. Notice that there are only 2 words in English. There are A&W's everywhere in Okinawa. Neither of us can read (or speak much) Kanji. We had to meet up with a guy that Michael works with who has lived on island for a long time (and has a Japanese wife who told him where it was) to be able to find it. Just another new experience on island :)

Another funny thing that happened during this Christmas time is that in church we sang Christmas songs...first in English...and then in Japanese (with the Kanji spelled out phonetically up on the projector). I'm beginning to "get" the vowel sounds now though! Who knew Silent Night could be so informative!?
