Heh, funny stuff. I've always wanted to go to Japan, and have thought about teaching english there. Kind of sparks my interest again. All I know of Japan is from anime
.
[edit]Hmm, that Kancho stuff sounds a bit too familiar. Koreans do that as well, except it's called "ttong-jip". Some of my friends from Korea do that, and I could never understand why :???: .

i didnt understand this part... But if it was funny enough to KO a bunch fo teachers i wanna know it And the part i dont understand is whats so funny about kid calling the bridge gay bridge ?
These are things that kids have hit me with at some point in the classroom. Most are in English, or at least their best attempt. I swear I'm not making any of this up.
During a quiz game, I asked "What's the name of the famous bridge in San Francisco?" They always guess "Rainbow Bridge" because that's the name of the famous bridge in Tokyo. Um, no. Not quite.
One boy completely surprised me though. He slowly and timidly approached me, looked up, and hit me with his guess - "Gay Bridge."
There's no way he could've said that.
I lean in closer and ask him to repeat it. Sure enough - "Gay Bridge."
There have been very few times in my life when I laughed so hard I couldn't stand. But this was one of them. My Japanese teacher asked me what was wrong, and when I finally managed to spit it out he joined me on the floor. He explained it to the students later and they were floored. Then he told it to the teachers room, and they were KO'd by it too.
If you think about it though, he wasn't too wrong.

I think it has something to do with that game called Bridge....actually there are a bunch of 'Gay Bridge' leagues in EuropeSephiroth[TR] said:i didnt understand this part... But if it was funny enough to KO a bunch fo teachers i wanna know it
Sorry Kirby, but the real reason it is so funny is because San Francisco is known for having lots of gay men. I'm not sure if this is actually true, but that is the general consensus.Sephiroth[TR] said:i didnt understand this part... But if it was funny enough to KO a bunch fo teachers i wanna know it

That's because San Francisco is usually considered the "gay capital" of the US.Sephiroth[TR] said:i didnt understand this part... But if it was funny enough to KO a bunch fo teachers i wanna know it
BTW, I've also seen the Golden Gate Bridge being called the "Golden Gay Bridge" :lol:
EDIT: Damn, The Captain beat me to it
