From the mouths of babes


This girl basically made my day. For me, she was a breath of fresh air because sometimes I get a little weirded out that Japan is still so homogeneous even though it's becoming more and more Westernized. She's adopted (I think) by Japanese parents, and speaks Japanese natively but speaks the same amount of accented English as her peers, which really threw me off (maybe that's racist of me). I only subbed her class for one day but afterward, she came up to me smiling and said, "Alex sensei, I love you. Daisuki!" Daisuki means, "I really like/love you."
