hello! yoshi

I just figured this out today. When I talk to a person who has an asian accent, I speak as if I had an asian accent. I know it’s weird but it’s true. I caught myself doing this today when I went to the Korean store to get some food. The lady there asked me how long I’ve lived in the area and I responded with a total asian accent. I thought it was pretty funny.

Of course, this doesn’t happen with my mom. When I talk to her it’s more like JapEnglish (for those of you who don’t know what this is, it’s talking with some words Japanese and most words in English), but Meesh told me when I was talking to my aunt from Japan, I spoke totally differently. Pretty weird!

Does anyone out there notice the same things? I know when I sometimes talk to my Jersey friends, I get the Jersey accent going on.

For this weeks theme, I thought I’d go ahead and include the biggest chunk of metal I’ve ever seen, the Statue of Liberty. This day had to be the busiest day ever. We went on New Year’s Eve weekend, and believe me, I felt like everyone was there with us. We had a good long walk from the parking lot, but we managed. It was a big day of fun. I’ve never been on the ferry to go see lady liberty. The most beautiful thing I’ve seen in a long time.
