The production team outdid itself with the sound effects of the speaker on the other end of the phone conversation. If people start avoiding me because I’m laughing for no apparent reason while listening to me iPod, it’ll be all your fault!

Don’t you think it’s hard to get to places in Japan because there’s no good street names and numbers? :roll:

Diane san> Ahahaha, me too! except, for me that happens too often :lol:

Bob1 san> You then talk back in Japanese :lol: Also, we may need to listen to this dialogue when we are in a bad mood lol

My husband is very good at finding his way on the streets, however, he can’t find his way around a department store without getting lost. I never get lost in a big shopping centre. What a team we make!

Jenny says:

I never get lost outside on the street, but put me in Yokohama station with all those department stores, and I wouldn’t be able to find my way out. :shock: I have learned how to avoid them when getting off the trains so I don’t get lost.

The voice on the phone is great!!! Reminded me of the Charlie Brown parents!!
