Finally, thanks to Jon G, I now know a truly useful phrase in Japanese. ::snort::
The above says, "Excuse me, where is the bathroom?" I had learned all but the Toire word....so anyone in the know care to pronounce Toire....is it TOY- reee or Too reh or.....
And Kim - would this be a polite way of asking? Or is it considered ill-mannered in Japan to ASK or mention a bathroom? I was overwhelmed with the options....toilet, powder room, rest room...
Honestly, I'm frustrated with the pace of the process...I want to be able to introduce new friends to Jesus....to the Love He offers...and at this rate....but then maybe THAT is what the lady was about last night. She could see "something" without me even speaking to her...A reminder from God that our lives speak even without correct words and grammar....I'll relax....lifestyle evangelism - it's what I'm about anyway.....I don't usually present the 4 spiritual laws on the streets in America come to think of it.
Choosing Joy!
