Here's a list of the people who have practiced their mad English skills on me thus far:
the guy on the Tokyo Narita Express- incredibly friendly and helpful. surprised I'm traveling by myself. absolutely perfect English without any sort of accent. I think he was a businessman.
the guy at Odori Station in Sapporo- I'm still laughing about this one.
him (runs up to me and shakes my hand): hello!
me: hi...
him: you are English?
me: um, yes
him: you are...college student?
me (bowled over because nobody in AMERICA thinks I'm a college student): yup!
him: you are...twenty years old?
me (thinking 'wow!): right. twenty years.
him: you were born in...*thinks*...nineteen-eighty...six?
me (amused): yes, in September
him: *nods* okay, goodbye! *leaves*
guy at the beer museum- again, friendly to the max. took a picture of me after he saw me setting up a self-portrait (I should have brought a tripod). knew where Connecticut was!
asparagus boy at the fish market- apparently the word 'asparagus' was all he knew. he kept pointing to them as I walked by the stall, and saying the name.
