Due to my trip to Japan, I missed 4 lessons and had to attend 4 other makeup sessions. The first session began yesterday. It was my first time entering the new class with a new teacher and strangers as classmates.

This happened last week during the 10 minute break, so I couldn’t exactly recall the whole conversation word for word. Still, the gist of it is there.
Besides my role in the conversation, there are 2 other people whom we shall name as Peter and Mary. Peter’s the guy mentioned in this post, while Mary… I don’t really know much about her except that she reads Claymore, probably watches a crapload of anime, and is a Japanophile.
It was another usual Japanese lesson on Thursday, and we were learning how to use ~とき, where ~ can be either the dictionary form or plain past tense of a verb, an i-adjective, a na-adjective or a noun. After the sensei went through the ways to use it, we had a verbal practice. There was one particular sentence that we had to complete.
「こどものとき、。。。」, which tranlates to “When I was a child, …”. Everyone gave rather standard answers, such as they played a lot or they were very lively.
Then, it came to the other otaku who was sitting at the last row. How do I know he’s of the same species? His handphone rang a couple of times during previous lessons as he somehow forgot to switch it to silent mode. A Clannad fanboy it seems, with his ringtone set as Dango Daikazoku.
Anyway, when it came to his turn, here’s what he said.
