Son #1 spent three years stationed in Japan and had some cultural run-ins in Tokyo. He also met some Japanese people that he dearly loved and still talks about after all these years. Can't wait til the next part.

You do a fine job at building a tense scene. I look forward to seeing what the resolution was.

Aw, sweet cultural disconnect...!
How we accidentally offend is only part of it: How we are offended, where we never expected or meant to be, is even more interesting.

I hope it was a compliment Naut. Could it have been tiredness and the hot bath that made you react in that way. If it had been all English speaking it would have been war.

I feel your anger in my face, that is where anger shows first with me, but after reading you for a while now, I kind of think you two will become fast friends soon enough...We will see tomorrow. A great series Naut.

Knowing a bit about the Japanese culture, I imagine the poor fellow was devastated that his joke was taken as an insult, and the others were trying to explain that he didn't meant it that way. Looking forward to the next post.
Terrific writing, by the way!

I can just hear the commotion and confusion echoing off the iron walls.
I do hope you all had a good laugh together, otherwise the voyage would be awful.
