Oooh
calling someone by just their first name... unheard of in Japanese business (always surname plus san). This
annoys me because there's an Austrlian guy in our company called Angus. Everybody calls him Angus and he has
all the perks of being a gaijin (forgiven for having poor Japanese), whereas I am referred to as Kadoya-san and
am therefore Japanese.
Tame (not the English
word/pronunciation) means same age. Tame guchi is the mode of speech when you are talking to someone your own
age.
And the Karoke pic is not that new, I just thought it captured me in a strange pose
