I had a teacher like that. He'd photocopy just about everything he saw. Oooooooh a stapler, lets photocopy it. We had tonnes and tonnes of sheets!!!!!!!! And then to top it all off, he'd complain to us that he was photocopying too much stuff for us and that he was killing the trees...Puhleeze

[Ekiushi]

My Modern History book - wherever it is - has all the sheets placed at the back. I am surprised I haven't lost any. But, my god, there are so many! He likes to go over them, so we never actually write anything. We highlight a few things and the bell rings.

My Ext History teacher tries to drown you in paper too. He feels by giving sheets out he's actually done some work, therefore this justified him getting paid double time.

i understood the " hai!" the rest.....

[Ekiushi]

It meant, My name is oceanic. Dunno about the rest. 4 years of Japanese. It shows doesn't it?

[Oceanic]

roughly translated, it means: my name is oceanic, my nationality is australian, real helpful phrases aren't they

[Liger_zero9999]

Hey, being able to say trainstation cow in Japanese isn't exactly helpful either. I need to start saying it to Japanese people... I need real Japanese reactions...

[Oceanic]

It is quite a random thing to know in japanese. my favourite phrase was wakarimasu. I'd say it to my teacher whenever he'd say something in jap, or when i was doing an oral in class in jap, and he'd ask me a question..."wakarimasu"
(it means "i dont understand" )

try chinatown

we have a heap of japanese tourists here. they come for the great barrier reef.

[Ekiushi]

Mo Ichi Do! One more time! I think. But it took me until Yr 10 to learn that and wakarimasu.

Ooh, there is enough Japanese tourists here - they come to see our supposedly "great" beaches. I just had forgotten it until now. I've been using Ekiushi as a name for such a long time that I'd kinda forgotten what it meant. Until this conversation.

[Oceanic]

You'll know just what to say to them next time you see one! Just randomly run up to a japanese person, yell out "EKIUSHI" and then stare at them and run away!! I'll be trying it next time i see a japanese person hehe

[Liger_zero9999]

i've been using this screen name"liger zero" ( a cross between a lion and a tiger) since high school. but before that i was "Rogue boomer"( mad boomer).. i'm tempted to change my screen name for future forums e.t.c, but i've gotten used to this one.

[Ekiushi]

Oh, I've totally got to do it.

And I like the screen name because its never taken. Ever. I even have the hotmail one. Although, I don't use the account much for some reason. But, I still have it.

[Oceanic]

If either of you know what Oceanic is from, then you will know how long I've had it as my nick. And how it has absoultly NOTHING to do with the Wii, not yet anyway.

[Ekiushi]

Oceanic Airlines?
