So, tell me, Philip, how are you getting used to living in Japan?
I haven't had much trouble adjusting to life here so far.
What do you think of the people?
I would say they're reserved, but very polite, and willing to help.
Don't you find the traffic in Tokyo hectic?
Not in the least. I lived in Mexico City before, so I'm used to heavy traffic. However, I prefer taking the subway to driving a car.
But sometimes the trains are crowded.
Yeah, but on the other hand, it's civilized. There's no pushing and shoving.
What things aren't you used to yet?
I'm not used to the cost of living. Things are so expensive here.
What about the Japanese language?
I was thinking of hiring a teacher. Would you be interested in teaching me?
I'm really short of time. But I can recommend someone.
