Conversations at work

First week temping here.

Guy: Hey, H-san, want to go to lunch with us?
Me: Thanks! That's nice of you. But... I am vegetarian so...
Guy: Huh. Vegetarian? Oh. Um... maybe next time.

Guy: Do you go to Roppongi a lot?
Me: Um, sometimes. I go to Azabu more. I have a friend who lives there.
Guy: Oh yeah, there are a lot of foreigners in Azabu.
Me: She's not a foreigner.
Guy: Oh.

    Karen Canan tells me you work in Japan. I've been studying Japanese for a couple years, after getting a BA in Japanese from UC Berkeley, and I'm working on translating novels, living here in Corvallis, Oregon, so I'm interested in hearing about Japan. Email me on facebook: chris farrell. I'm her boyfriend, for the past year...
