Q&A

Every time I visit a school for the first time, I always do a self-introduction. At the end, I let them ask me questions. I tell them they can ask me anything they want. I even let them ask me in Japanese.

• What fruit do you like?
• What food do you like?
• What animal do you like?
• Do you like Japan or America better?
• Why did you come to Japan?
• What car do you like?
• What movies do you like?
• What TV shows do you like?
• What music do you like?
• Is Japan different than America?
• ...etc

And they seem pretty normal. Until today when a 1st grader asked me,

What tractor do you like?

I asked him to repeat the question. The teacher looked at me like "I don't know what he's asking." I told him (and the other 4 of his classmates) that I didn't know tractors and never had one. They were quite shocked. I was quite shocked. Also a 6th grader told me she had a pet cow today. That should be a good indicator that I live in the middle of nowhere. I haven't really noticed that I live in the countryside, but today was a reminder.
