It's 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday (central standard time, U.S.A.) and just seven and a half hours until my ride comes to drive me to the airport. I was hoping I might have time to write up a preemptive introduction before my travels begin, but I simply haven't the time to do so. This post serves as my apology, and my promise to supply an appropriate introduction after I land. I am writing this in a moment of downtime, as I'm enjoying the last few bites of Gran's homemade double chocolate cake.
I only need to remember two things when I land in Tokyo:
Ego dekimasuka?
eh-goe deh-kee-mah-skah (oe = long o, as in "go" or "toe" or "flow")
Can we do this (converse) in English?
Arigatou gozaimasu.
ah-ree-gah-toe goe-zai-mahs (ai = long i sound, as in "die" or "eye" or "fly")
Thank you very much.
Until then, I am consumed by preparations for the flight and for leaving most of my regular business behind.
