I got some of my classes switched around on friday nights. Apparently I'm to be teaching jr highschool girls because, "They don't like Stephen," my co-worker. He puts them on the spot and then touches them, probably innocently, but all the same, annoyingly. The japanese don't much do the body contact thing. Now since I'm from the midwest and we, like the japanese never touch unless we have to, I should be a safe bet to teach these little pukes.

Another little cultural aside, the japanese word for "pervert" is, すけべ which sounds like skebbey and is what my mom would jokingly call spaghetti when we were kids. Just a coincidence, but a strange one.
