The Japanese Experience

Nathan will be a world traveler when he grows up, I'm convinced of it.  He has always been into geography, other cultures, other languages, and relentlessly asks questions about any country he can think of.  Thank goodness that we can sit down together and Google most of his questions; Nathan and I spend oodles of time looking up all kinds of information while he cradles his globe beside the computer.

Right now in school, Nathan is studying Japan.  He brought home a list of his classmates with their names written in english and japanese, and studies them regularly.  Just like with most of the countries he learns about, Nathan has decided that he is going to move to Japan and live there as an artist and a ninja.  For the last month (and still going), Nathan will say hello, goodbye, and thank you to anyone & everyone in japanese.  Nathan brought home chopsticks on Tuesday, and for a few nights I made asian-style dinners to try them out.  Nathan and I used chopsticks while Pete and Zack opted to go for a fork.  Nathan is a fabulous chopstick user, by the way.  I couldn't believe it.
