Classy

At dinner tonight after the softball game:

Kosaka: So are you ever lonely living in Japan by yourself?

Me: Oh, sometimes, a little bit. Oh, but my family is coming here to visit me in June!

Everyone: Oh really!! Oh boy!!!

Kosaka: Hmmm....we should throw some kind of welcome party for them!!

Shimada: We could schedule a special softball game so they could watch!

Shinohara: I don't know....that might be kind of embarrassing. I'm not sure if we're up to American standards....

Shimada: Oh, you're right....we should do something high class! Takada-san, you can play your shakuhachi. (shakuhachi = Japanese bamboo flute)

Kosaka: Yeah!!! We can introduce them to Japanese culture.

Shinohara: Right, right. Japanese culture. High class.

Shimada: Yeah, high class.

Kosaka: Oh! Or we could have a barbecue.

Everyone: Ohohoho...a barbecue...yeah, yeah, yeah....
