Weird English lessons



Thought I'd put this one here since it involves non-Japanese in the video.

This is priceless! Those 3 cuties doing calisthenics and chanting "I have a bad case of diarrhea" just doesn't seem to go together in my mind though.

They look like dutiful little robots. I was surprised back in college when I told a Japanese exchange student that I was absent the day before due to a stomach ache, and she asked me "Did you have diarrhea?" very nonchalantly.

Of course, I was a bit taken aback as I was trying to put it in nice terms. In Japan they have no qualms about saying 下痢 in the polite conversation, but I still cringe a bit whenever I hear it as I was raised not to really talk about it except amongst close family or a physician.

Well, I have learned something new. I did not know that things like that were cosidered appropriate to talk about in the Japanese culture...
