My Father's Regret

So I have decided to go to Japan on October 26th. I just really hope war hasn't started yet. Part of the reason I am going in October instead of when the cherry blossoms do their thing. I've bought a few books on learning Japanese in the meantime. I know nothing... Te o Nabashite & Tonzura Koite...

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions (I am still open) especially to the lovely and haired Michael Simmons.

But it's still all just a matter of time.

"Tonzura koite", I've never used that pharase...

For a year of college, I lived in the international dorm. I had some Japanese girls teach me how to say "I farted." They also taught me the appropriate counter to when someone does that, what you would say along with that sourpuss face. :)

Phonetically: 'oh toy-deh wah doko des ka' translates into "where's the bathroom?". Sadly, that's all I get from three semesters of Japanese in college.

The response I learned was "ku-sai", which was basically "Ewwwwwwww".
