As Foreign As It Still Is...

...some things have grown on me. For example, recently I watched an episode of the West Wing, where characters walked from outside to inside a house. It caught me funny when they didn't stop to take off their shoes.
Then that caught me funny.

And to all my Czech friends, I am sad to report that it is rare when all parties cheers when a new drink comes, and equally rare when everyone makes eye contact during said cheers.

However, there are still some things I can say in Czech a lot easier than Japanese, and some things I can say in Czech but not in Japanese at all, and so there are times when I catch myself saying "Mam jen ..." for "I have only ..."

Slowly internally swapping one culture for another...
