The Cantine

The other day, my fellow Americans and I thought we would be adventurous and try out the campus cantine. It's a convenient 2 minute walk from the dorms and each meal costs somewhere between one and two dollars. We were on our way over when we ran into a Japanese buddy of ours.

This guy is average height and looks but he has this crazy mad-scientist hair that makes him look half cartoon and half uni bomber. He's very, very serious and sort of shy but always tries his hardest to communicate with us through broken English- the guy's a real sweetheart- so, we told him we were on the way to the cantine and would he like to join us.

And he looked at all of us with his crazy wild mane. He took a long pause before responding, opened his eyes wide, shook his head slowly and said in the most earnest way possible,
"No... Is not dericious."
