Wholesome to loko!

SO my boss arrived yesterday and we had a video conference with staff members from another Japanese company. I actually enjoyed it cuz I got to speak with Japanese people for the first time (including my boss). I wasn't just listening to them speak, I was trying to observe their intonation when speaking (I learned this technique when I studied Mandarin), so yeah, their tones are easier to remember, they only have two tones, high and low, mandarin on the other hand has 5, including the neutral tone, and Cantonese has 8! (i dont want to study it).

Anyway, my boss treated us for dinner in a Japanese Restaurant here at SM Baguio, the name of the establishment is Teriyaki Boy if Im not mistaken. As you can guess, it was my first time to eat in a Japanese restaurant, let alone, taste Japanese cuisine. The waitress forgot to write my Gyoza! so I wasnt able to taste it. My favorite among the Sushi's is the salmon sushi, taihen oishii desu.

Then the marketing manager, our manager here in Baguio studio who is also the Shachoo's wife, told Shachoo that I could speak Japanese and then he said, "OH! lets speak in Japanese then!" Then I think my brain just deteriorated...
