Today started off as a normal day being an ALT (assistant language teacher) in Japan. I was doing my normal routine of being an idiot while supplying semi-valuable english to upcoming creative Japanese minds.
I could tell something was about to go wrong when I was called over by a group of 16 year old girls. Since I was eager to help them on their english worries I made my way over to the group with the smiling face of English. It's when the conversation started that the unthinkable happened:
[english version of conversation]
Girls: Hey bebpo [not real name], do you know Mario?
Me: You mean like the "Its me! Mario!" Mario?
Girls: hahah, yea that one!
Me: Yeah I know my Mario history.
Girls: We'll we were thinking...you look like him.
Me: [thinking]: Well Mario is a pretty cool guy so I guess this a compliment!
Me: Ah, so I look like Mario? Cool.
Girls: No, no. You look like the other one! Like Luigi!
Me: [imagining the Kobunheat Godfather pic of Luigi on the boat] >_<
So is that about it for my social life? I mean how can expect to meet the woman of my dreams when I look like Luigi
Is Luigi secretly stand for "cool and sexy guy"? Hmm, I'm afraid to look in the mirror and start imaging myself as Luigi ;_;
