Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Your friend tells you that you’re going out tonight. You assume he’s referring to one of the hot Japanese nightclubs that’s not too far away, so you get dressed to the nines. However, when he picks you up, he’s not dressed to hit a Japanese dance floor: he’s wearing very casual attire.
