Read E @ L this evening: “Like a 30% sale at Borders, which is where I went after brunch with Indy and his very funny, very nice, intelligent and well-educated LBFM at Brewerkz. Very pleasant day. Sun shining. Demi-urge in his heaven. E@L feeling alright with the world.”‘ Singapore, Orchard

It is not Sayonara……..
If it is, I am going to be pissed. Japanese is a very precise language. It has several different ways to get across the same concept. For the concept of good-bye there are a whole bunch of ways to say it. Each is applicable in a specific context and situation.
