Voodoo Lounge

Today we learnt how to say such things as "May I sit here?" and "You must not smoke in that room!". So now I can tell people off. The Japanese also use the same form for describing actions that are happening at the moment ("It is raining."), describing things that occurred in the past but the effects are still continuing ("I am married"), and for habitual actions ("Supermarkets sell food.").
So, in Japanese then:

1. 雨が振っています。 (ame ga futte imasu)
   
2. 結婚しています。 (kekkon shite imasu)
   
3. スーパーは食べ物を売っています。(suupaa wa tabemono o utte imasu)

So there you have it.

This evening most of us went to Voodoo Lounge in Tenjin, where The Cream Tease did a grand 7 minute set. (Was it really worth it?) The point of this was to promote the upcoming Fukuoka Now anniversary party in two weeks time, with both Binks and Katherine dressed up in Fukuoka Now t-shirts and caps handing out flyers. I think people enjoyed it, though for the most part I think they were just totally confused.
