You're on. Don't bogart and all...
Except I never learned any Japanese cuss words; the Japanese are all about presenting a respectable 'face' to the world; a very polite culture. That was true in the 90s at least (and I think it's probably still true today).
Maybe that's one of the reasons they have such low violent crime and murder rates? One thing I learned when I was there though -- there's a lot of less-than-respectable collusion and sexual exploitation that goes on outta sight, but nobody really talked about it openly.
I learned a few simple words, sato (sweet) hiaku (sic) means faster when cab was going to slow....and of course oh hya gozamas....i know spelling is pathetic.....konichi wa was (good evening).
Re sexual stuff, tell me about it....I met my boyfriend who recently had been deployed to Korea, in Japan....we traveled around in a train, went to Mt Fuji, stayed there in Special Services Hotel at base of Fuji, stayed at the Imperial Hotel, old grand hotel but at the time, they were adding more modern additions....
In any case, we wanted to go to a club one evening and this cab driver drove for approx 1 hour and we got out in front of a house....went into this smoked filled two story house filled with dirty old men watching porn.......that cab driver knew that is not what we meant........we ended up at the Queen Bee (my first experience in a Japanese toilet), but after returning from bathroom, there were call girls hitting on my boyfriend.....jeez, everything was about sex there.......only the men left their wives at home while they dilly dallied with the ladies......
I had dinner in Japanese home and although I was invited to eat with the men, the wife and a daughter stayed in kitchen to eat and serve.....this was the late 50's.......one of my favorite places..
Congratulations FQ2 on your engagement.......
