watashi wa haien! ( I have pneumonia!!)

Well I was really sick at the beginning of last week and on Thursday I found out I had pneumonia...I've never had it before but I can tell you it is pretty much the worst thing ever, so don't get it! I've heard about and seen that people in Japan and parts of Asia wear Doctor's masks when they are sick. It looks pretty strange but now that I've gotten pneumonia I'm starting to thing it is a really smart idea, as well as a polite one. I hope this catches on in America..maybe I'll start a fad...

Ohayou!

Watashi wa Philip desu. Amerika jin desu. Ni ju issai desu. Columbia no yo nensee desu. Watashi wa nemui desu. Florida kara kimashita.

I'm Philip, I'm American and a 21 year old senior at Columbia. I am tired all of the time. I'm from Florida. I want to visit Japan this summer. Learning Japanese is pretty hard. It took me all week but I finally memorized the hiragana for a i e u and o. Yatta!
