Partly just thinking, that if I’m going to be stuck somewhere with enough to keep me entertained for a good long while, the real world is a pretty good place. Access to all the books, video games, movies, TV, and anime I could possibly want. :)

Yeah, the translation is better than trying to deal with a shopkeeper who doesn’t want to yukkuri the fuck hanashite kudasai or whatever. I have a vocabulary of maybe 800 words but whatever you’re speaking is way outside it.
