One cultural difference between all nations is their perception of package size. It might be a stereotype, but I think common idea is that Black > White > Asian.

What do Japanese think? Well they get really specific. I found this pic on one of the Japanese blogs. They put American dick as smaller than Japanese dick. But, of course, Korean comes in last. But the real surprise is that they think French man have giant choaders! You simply can't make this stuff up.

My English class was about to start. But the Japanese man I teach with wasn't ready. "Can you please talk to the students while I finish preparing?" He asked me.

"Sure."

I told the class we would start without Mr. Kageyama. They stood up and bowed to me. After asking them the usual questions, which they answered in unison (How's the weather? / What day is today? / What is today's date?) I told them to sit down.

"Who has an iPod, raise your hand?" I asked. Several students raised their hands.

"You sir, how many songs do you have?"

"Two hun-do-re-do." He said.

"And did you copy them from a CD? Or did download them?"

"Download-shi-ma-shi-ta."

"Where did you go to download?" This question stopped him. Several other kids joined in, but he couldn't quite give me an answer. I took a pen and asked him to write the website. The address. Finally one of the kids in class understood and said the magic words, URL.

"Yes, what's the URL?" I asked, thankful that this one translates perfectly.

But he didn't know the URL. Then how did he download songs? I thought about it for a moment, and remembered seeing a Google commercial on TV--before their recent Super Bowl ad. Why would Google have a TV spot in Japan? Because Yahoo is the main search engine here.

On the blackboard I wrote "yahoo.co.jp" and then drew a line to a search box. Then I drew another line to the word "Music." I tapped the empty search box. Kids today don't even bother memorizing the URLs of their favorite webpages, I've noticed.

He understood what I wanted to know, took the chalk and wrote this in the empty box. (I hope your PC supports Japanese)

天元
http://tengen001.web.fc2.com/ is the URL I think.

Several other students joined in and added the following.

ニコニコ動画
http://www.nicovideo.jp/

However this second example is more like a Japanese youtube. And you have to register to use it, so meh. I should caution you as my students cautioned me. The download site above is "Chinese" and "dangerous."
