[Michel]

Peanut butter sandwiches à la Michel, (the french baguette that comes with my chicken meal from superstore) lol !

  Oh, no cantonese ? Snif snif, it doesn't always sound very preety but still it's mysterious and exotic to hear.

 That's hilarious.  I assume the kitchen strainer is called a "China Cap" or "chinois" because it looks like a pointy chinese hat?
 
 

[Michel]

Ah ah, no it's called a "passoire".

[Lil Me]

I was confused, so I googled it.
 
 Passoir is the regular strainer:
 
   

[Michel]

I don't know too much about cooking, I use to burn water, so I can not say exactly how they called that one, but I would guess passoire conique or passoire pointue wouldn't shock anybody.

hello!

ran into japanese girl...
She kept staring at me blushing or whatever/giggly. Then a bunch of esl japanese people she was with who I also talked to before started giggling. Then they said something to her in japanese. All I got in was 'how's school' she went "this my first day". Then kept looking back at me at the lunch line.

hysterical.

OHOHOH, FRESLY OFF THE BOAT EH ? THEY'RE NOT USED TO WHITE MEAT. ME LUV YOU LONG TIME SD... HEHEHE

  NEXT TIME, TELL HER ANATA TOTEMO KIREI !

[Sportsdude]

well you don't know the back story. lol
I helped her on and off the boat and carried all her stuff and basically watched over/baby sitted her for 5hrs.
 

[Michel]

*sigh* some Japanese girls are amazingly immature and pathologically shy, jesus. Go get her big boy ! The priest is already waiting !

[Sportsdude]

well she barely speaks english
and there's two types of esl's here.
Ones that only come here to learn english and speak it in the classes but outside they don't talk to any of the locals or english folks and go back to their native tongue. They're in homestay

Then there's the ones that party with the canadians/internationals non esl and live in dorms.

She's in homestay.

Lil Me.... more kitchen utensils make teh Lise go nuts! Stop doing that!! Don't you know I love looking at them???

  Japanese girls are cute but Japanese guys are even hotter especially the ones that don't know Engrish.

[Michel]

It can be interesting, maybe even more serious possibilities, like a long term relationship (at your age kid, that means the time of a pair of jeans, and with all that beer that I'm sure you drank lately, soon your jeans will be too tight, lol)

  Well SD, you seems to like her, that's cute, I wish you good luck.

  Repeat after me SD :

  Konnichiwa (insert the name of your late night fantasy here), anata totemo kirei !

  Don't listen to Lise, she's evil, her dream is to become a porn star ! lol

  Food time, ni hao lise, konnichiwa dude ![/DIV]
