dancing_barefoot 0 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Does anyone else find that the more you are in Japan, the more you 'forget' things about your own country - or even didn't know in the first place. I just seem to get asked so many questions about my home country that I get stumped on. Or is it just me being not too bright? Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I try to forget as much as I can, but not because I want to, more so I need to. Link to post Share on other sites

klingon 10 Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 I find that with friends from all over, I tend to forget a lot of things about home. But if it's history you're talking about - I never knew much about that in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 I generally tend to forget that Fiesta Magazine is available in English newsagents, and I'm always pleased to see it on the top shelf at the Kiosk in the National Express waiting room at Heathrow. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 For anyone who doesn't know, its a general festival / events magazine covering such events as Garden Shows, Classical concerts and opera. Very cultured. Link to post Share on other sites
