Cultural Plunge #1

Another day this week I was given a grocery list and walking directions, with the opportunity to go out in the community and accomplish some tasks.  I was successful in bringing back some groceries for dinner that night, and I was able to order some lunch to feed myself...woohoo!!!  I was able to use enough Japanese to ask and get what I needed...eventually, but also used it improperly enough to get some blanks stares, some "are you kidding me?!?!" looks, and some "why are you not understanding what I'm telling you?!?!?" looks.

Accomplishing the goals set out for me.......success!!!!
Spreading cheer to those around me............success!!!!
