I am a vet technician. My favourite movie genre is horror. I like books by Stephen King. I struggle to learn Spanish. I tried to learn a new language on my phone. I am going to try to learn Japanese. I do not travel much. I stay at home a lot. I'm not very cultured.
I am an international business man. I love animals. I know over 300 languages. My favourite language is Chinese. I find learning Chinese is difficult. I have friends in China. I pick up languages as I travel. I enjoy travelling and reading. I watch documentaries only. I own a mansion. I like books by Stephen King. I want to go on holiday. I like travelling to Antigua. I like warm places and new variety. I am going to Japan. I used babble to learn different languages. I know some Japanese. I learned Japanese before learning Chinese.
Will there be opportunities to see sumo wrestling in Japan? I am sure there will be many opportunities if that would be the thing the entice you to confirm coming on the trip with me! Which way are you leaning right now?  My biggest concern is that I'm not picking up the language very fast.  I'd like to be able to say something more than Kineshewa! Was learning Japanese as difficult as learning chinese? Japanese was harder for me to learn, but that's only because it's the first one I learned! Do not let that be the reason to stop you from going on the trip! Actually, I think it's even more of a reason to go! And honestly you will be able to get by with the basics. They are used to having many English speaking tourists!  I really do want to go, especially with someone that can speak the language and has a lot more experience travelling than I do.   Yes, I agree. Have you researched much on Japan? Where would you like to go, besides to see Sumo wrestling? I'd certainly want to see some animal reserves if they have any.  It's no surprise that I love animals since I work with them every day.  And I don't have to try to speak Japanese to them! This is true! I am sure we can find something along those lines. I will do some research today. I am really excited for the food. Do you enjoy sushi? I'm not a big seafood lover in general.  But I do like eating the native cuisine on the rare occasions I do travel. I'd trust you to find some interesting places to eat, so I'm willing to give it a try. There is nothing like real sushi in Japan, so I will encourage you to try it! However, if you don't like it, there are so many other great offerings. Even their street food is incredible. Just walking down the street there is a cultural experience. I'd like to try pufferfish just to say I survived it! lol I'm sure there are plenty of chefs in Japan certified to prepare it.  But yes, it's the cultural experience that makes me most excited about the trip. Oh wow, you are adventurous! Ok so it is settled then, I take it you are all in on the trip! I cannot wait. We should book our flights soon.
