| I see 6 views with nobody commenting about their scores. My scores with three attempts: 57, 33, & 36. I will turn 64 at the end of this month. That must mean that I am immature for my age? | |

I did it the first time and got a 54 then waited about an hour and got a 31. I turned 58 less than a month ago. Should it come out like your age? Not far off the first time. Gets easier when you know what to expect.

| Peter:
With all your experience, you should have been able to read the Japanese instructions! | |

| My Japanese girlfriend from years ago taught me some Japanese phrases but not how to read con-ji. When the Japanese defense force came to our test base the first time they had a small team attached to us. I used 85% of the Japanese I knew greeting them and offering a cigarette and asking for a light. The exchange went on for over a minute or so and my co-workers were blown-away/ They thought I was fluent in Japanese. No chance.
Shigarete wa ikaga desu ka? (Arrigato) Do itashi mashite.
Matchi wo kudesai? Asoka. Arrigato.
No claim for being able to spell it though. | |

| From 1949 to 1956, I was raised in Japan - ages 2 to 9. Without any formal classes, I learned to speak, read and write Japanese. My father was an executive with an oil company and I would often travel with him acting as his interpreter since he knew that I would translate without slanting the translation to what a regular Japanese interpreter thought he wanted to hear. At the time I thought it was pretty cool duty even though I often had no idea what the technical stuff was all about. Like anything, you either use it or lose it but I still pick up on the spoken word with brief exposure.
Even though it was during a period where there were numerous US troops still occupying Japan, we didn't have that much contact with them other than my going to a US system school on one of the military bases. At the time, it was a great experience living there and the Japanese were truly a friendly people. My best buddy and I would think nothing of hopping on the train in Yokohama and go to Tokyo for the day by ourselves. Not a bad experience for two very young guys! | |

| Never been there. They say Japan is one of the safest countries to be in. Also one of the most expensive.
Until I met Tere my Japanese girlfriend Susan was the sweetest I have ever known. I must express gratitude to the gringa gals I dated for helping me keep my resolve to remain single. | |
