return.of.the...carter.3?

the most comical thing about the american music in japan is, well other than me not hearing ANY japanese music since i have been here, they don't (im asusming) know what the words mean. they may know the lyrics now, simply because they have been listening to it daily; however, they are playing the unedited version which leads me to believe they dont really know what they are listening to.

return.of.the....OBAMA!
last night at dinner we (some of my english speaking friends and I) decided to have dinner in the common room (of our "dorm") with some of the native japanese speaking english speakers. so, we were flipping through some australian magazine and there was a picture of the Obama family, Ben Afleck (sp?) and some other randoms. Well, the person reading the magazine asked if they knew Ben and they responded (hesitantly) eh...uh...oh yes, ben... actor...yes. Well (plug: Obama is great, fyi!) A Washingtonian asks, do you know him (pointing to Obama) and everyone says (in unison smiling) "YES YES YES OBAMA! Its barack obama!" I thought that was great. They continue the conversation by telling us about Obama, Japan and how the people there are campaigning for Obama and they have these huge parties just for the Obama campaign. I thikn that is great and I also think I will be showing up to Obama beach and celebrating on November 5, 2008! WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO... later in the conversation someone asked about McCain and they frowned and i laughed. HA!
