How I know it's time to go

Hey that rhymed!

So my phone (version 3.0 now) is starting to break. Not surprising. I bought it from a super sketchy dude who had it on his desk and was probably going to throw it out. It was used. Someone else had messed it up and sold it to this guy so he could rip off some poor soul who was in desperate need of a new phone, preferably one similar to her old one.
So sometimes when I press the numbers they don't know they're being pressed. Kind of annoying.

Second, my computer's been acting weird. About every 4 minutes it just pauses for about 45 seconds and everything stops, and then makes weird noises then starts again and tries to pretend everything cool.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr....

So obviously it's the electronical god telling me to leave my material possessions behind and go to Asia. Right?

Today i was looking into different places where I can go WWOOFing. VERY EXCITING.

One place looked cool, so I went to the website and it looked similar to this site.

That's actually has more English than the one I went to. I can't find the other one I went to. Hmm... what do I do with this information? What do you think made them think, "Ok, English headings, but that's it! No more!"...????


Here's another one that looked cool. It's an English house and they teach people English but they also have an environmental education center. Hmm....

Then I found this one. The write up was really nice so I checked out the link and it made sense! Like the entire website made sense!


I'll definitely contact them, cause this place looks awesome, but I think I should probably go to one of those places that just don't speak English and try to figure it out. One host said, "We do not speak English, but it it ok if you do not speak Japanese. We can rely on body language." Wow, that place is just 2 old people running a farm. That could be interesting. In the host listings it asks if the WWOOFer will be expected to understand Japanese and the answers range from, "No" to, "Not necessary much" to, "No, you do not have to speak Japanese much" to "Yes, to some extent" to, "Yes, Very Important". I don't exactly know what "no, you do not have to speak Japanese much" really means. Without the word "much" it's a completely different sentence. And I feel that the "Not necessary" didn't really mean to have that much in there. So maybe they're just "much" happy and add it to everything. So during my first round of looking through the book I kept the places that said "no", "not necessary much" and "no,... much" and crossed out the rest.

Round 2 tomorrow. Getting rid of all of the places that have cats.

Oh, and don't worry. I'll make sure that whoever I go to work for understands that I don't speak Japanese. At all.
