We're on the radio(?)

We're starting to get used to morning classes now (yeah right!). Today, Camilla and I went to Yoyogi Park to study some ... suprise, surprise ... Japanese. It went pretty well ... kind of ... not. We were both tired so we took a nap while getting a nice tan and woke up to the ugly sound of several crows who wanted to snatch our food, first time I felt that birds are scary. After some studying we noticed a guy walking towards us and finally stops at our spot telling us that he is from a Japanese radio station called FM Fuji, and that he wants to interview us just because we're foreigners. As a reply I hear myself saying "Sure, no problem" and then we start to talk about what I was supposed to do. The FM Fuji guy, also known as Daigo, gave me a paper in Japanese with a story telling something about "walking on the street, meeting a stranger" and something about "embarrassing" ... I just felt like I didn't knew any Japanese at all. While I had that thought in my head I had a big microphone one inch from my face, and I were also about to tell the listeners (in Japanese!) about a story; so I told them about the celebration of Midsummer's Eve in Yoyogi Park and that dance thing I wrote about in an earlier post. I also asked the host of this show, オクイシュージ - Okuishuuji, why Japanese people just stands there looking at the DJs playing good music instead of dancing to the music. Afterwards I found out that I was suppose to have talked about something embarrassing but I didn't, haven't listened to the show yet and to be honest I'm not sure if I want to, I just have a bad feeling about this. It's probably a show about making fool out of foreigners, which seems to be one of the funniest things to do as a Japanese. Will, eventually, try to get an mp3 of the show. Time to go to bed, take care honeybuns!
