Back from Nagasaki~
I had a lovely time, although half of the vacation was made up of sleeping, watching TV in the hotel, or trying to master the rather difficult dialect. Saitou-sensei's colleagues were rather odd, but very nice. Tani-san in particular was very kind to me, although I'm still not sure what the purpose of the banana he gave me is. Ah, perhaps it's some kind of custom of his.

Either way, sensei, I had so much fun, and you were wonderful company. We should do it again, sometime!

Ara, where are my manners today? We have a new student! Welcome to Kyuuri, Pierce-san! It'll take some getting used to, but I'm sure you'll love it here! If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask me ^__^

[Ah... go easy on him, okay? I feel kind of sorry for the poor sap.]

Bananas are the national symbol, I presume. He gave me an entire bunch, complete with a roguish wink.

We could always have a sleepover.

Ahhh, gotcha. I didn't want to be rude, he was such a nice man...

Oooooh, yes! Maybe Souji-kun could come, too! Make it a family thing!

Would that not include Hijikata-san as well?

Depends. Does he want to come? Sakamoto-sensei is more than welcome as well!

A sleep-over? I rather doubt it. Ryouma would like it, however.

I'd be happy to have him! My house is rather big, I think you'd all like it. And you can bring that movie about the cannibal doctor you like so much!

That is Ryouma's movie, but thank you for offering your house. [smiles]

My house is well-suited for it, after all. 'Kaa-san and Yoake-niichan are never really home, so we'd have it to ourselves!

Ohhh! that sounds fun! My usual wandering spots have been no go lately, so it'll be nice to get outta the house!

A quick cultural question: Do the Japanese have some thing for... fruits and vegetables? I did a little study about the Japanese culture before I got here, and none of the books I read mentioned anything along those lines; I just wanted to see if the books were, well, wrong.

And again, thank you for your help.

Well... you'll find that there is a rather unhealthy obsession with... certain... fruits and vegetables. And some people, like Saitou-sensei here, who prefer the company of the cheese. And like I said, I do believe Tani-san had some kind of cutural ritual involving bananas... so maybe.

It's not a problem! *Beams*

I see.

Cheese? Well, that certainly is an interesting choice of... company. Not that I have anything against cheese... >.>;;

There are exceptions to that- for example, I hate brocilli. Never liked it. And Hijikata-kun hates most produce. He's had a lot of bad experience.

*cough* It's best to stay away from produce around him.
