Domo Chat  

Priceless Information  

This is Ian's piece of web. See it go. Go, weblog, go! Go travel in Asia. Go study in Tokyo. Go home to Portland. Nah, what the hell. Go, study in Beijing.

Stop. I am a student studying Chinese language in Beijing.

I started this weblog in the Summer of 2002. It keeps following me wherever I go. But, I'm glad to have the company.

Thanks to Clifton for hosting Domodomo. If you need a flash or website designer, you can do no better.

Domoblog - My old Tokyo mobile weblog.

Domo Music - Music I done made. Shockingly presented under the artist name of "Domo Domo."

Ian's Guide to Cross-Cultural Communication Part I

1. Say everything twice
2. When repeating yourself (step one) say things in a different way. Don't just say the same thing but louder.
3. Repeat step two; three or four more times.
4. Point, grunt, repeat.
5. Be like the mime.
6. Say toilet, not restroom/bathroom.
7. DON'T EVER talk about how "nice" it is that you can buy so much locally with your big american dollars. This will break down communication. Not that I've ever done this.

More to come, maybe.
