you’re right, there are arguments for either way. It was a bit of a shock for me when I started learning “te” form and other conjugations, because I had not learn any neutral form of the verbs before haha.
Wow, you went to a lot of places! Himeji looks interesting, how was it?
Which places would you like to visit next time? I am curious about the whole Shikoku area (and Hokkaido too, although I hate cold weather).
Thanks Joel! :)
Yeah :( that’s right, but to me it actually makes more sense to learn the neutral/dictionary form first, before learning formal (desu). I wonder who decided it was better to teach formal desu first :P (probably because Japanese culture has such an emphasis on politeness…)
Well I did some Wwoofing the first month (in Ishigaki actually. In a cafe and a flower farm). I spent the last week of the first month “chilling” in Naha. The second month I used the Japan rail pass to travel from Tokyo downwards (Kamakura, Shizuoka, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe, Hiroshima, Miyajima <my favorite>, Fukuoka and Kagoshima). I spent the last month in Tokyo (couchsurfing with an awesome British guy that made the best scrambled eggs ever!), Ibaraki and Yokohama (staying with friends). It was an amazing trip in many ways, and even though my Japanese was not super good, I had a lot of interaction opportunities, made new friends and had very interesting interpersonal experiences.
Where in Japan have you been? :P
