Junko touched down in hot and humid Singapore last night! So, Liting and I met up with her for dinner and drinks. It was great fun =) Conversation snippets shall remain private, but we touched on many funny topics. Had dinner @ Chatterbox and free drinks at St James, but forgot to take photos of the food -_-”
Just to backtrack a little, Junko and I met in Davis, California when we were on exchange in ‘05. She stayed there for 10 months and I for 4 but we have stayed in contact through the years, so to finally meet her after 4 years was really exciting.
The Japanese girls I met have a standard response when they meet someone for the first time. They go… ‘Kawaii ne’ before saying hello. Everyone of them. As someone who doesn’t speak Japanese, I was lost for words and didn’t know how I should respond. So I said to one of them ‘ You are Kawaii too’ and then ‘arigato’? which when I uttered, EVERYONE EXCLAIMED amazement-_-”" It was absolutely hilarious. When I asked Junko, she said that as a Singaporean Girl, I was rare. Ok so i’m a good kawaii specimen of a Singaporean girl=) *high five* LOL

Drinks@ St James
We were telling Junko about Ladies Night in Singapore and she likened it to the discounts ladies get on Wednesdays for movies. Instead of paying USD 18 to watch a movie, ladies pay USD 10. Apart from being appalled by the price of watching a movie in Japan, I think it’s an idea movie operators in SG should implement. GIMME $5 tickets coz i’m a gal;P
