I'm in the same situation. I used to think nose blowing was taboo but pretty much everyone except me blows their nose in public. They'll do that but then rush outside when their cell rings. Hmm.

Post about my hospital shortly I think...

Not only are they entertaining, but I think they can help prepare people who have never gone to Japan (including me) but who want to go and dont know what it will be like! Keep up the great work, Yuribou! These posts are great in so many ways!

Having learned all my Japanese from anime I pretty much cannot speak at all, even if I can understand a fair amount. I really think the only way to properly learn a language is to be in the proper language environment (in other words join Yuribou).

Keep it up! I just have to comp with previous comment, when doubts arise, just put some good anime in your player and enjoy. Things like that will wash it up soon :) I'm keen to find out more of how you manage with your Japanese. I studied the language back at university for 2 years, but I feel like I still lack the confidence to actually speak it with anyone else than my sensei... Keep writing of what shows up in there!

Back on subject, I was getting scared for you for a second yuribou, you sounded like you were doubting yourself for a second there, just remember, if you ever have feelings like those again just pick up a yuri like Strawberry Panic or something and everything will be ok.
