What's a good "get well' message? Hey everybody, I work in a hotel and have a Japanese couple staying here for about 2 weeks. Today, the wife made hot water for tea and the 13 month old daughter got her hands on the cup and severally burned her face and arm. She had to be air lifted to the major children's hospital about an hour away. I was going to go to Walmart and get a small stuffed animal for the daughter and I want to write an encouraging message for the parents. It's their first child and the mother feels really guilty. They barely speak any English at all and are understandably, very shaken up. What would be a good message for me to write to them? If you could, please write the message in Japanese along with the English translation. I know it would mean a lot to this family! Thank you in advance!

Favorite Musical?

Hey guys,

I was wondering what some of your favorite musicals were and why? What's your favorite parts?


My ultimate favorite would be Newsies (the broadway version). I love all the dance numbers because they highlight the different styles of dance. 

I also love RENT. It's so different than any other musical I've seen because it has such a different music style (rock music) and it tackles so many taboo themes 

Singing in the Rain is another favorite. You just can't beat Gene Kelly!


How about you guys?

Favorite movie quote?

Hey guys,

I was just wondering what your favorite movie quote was and why you liked it!

Mine is from the movie "1776" - "Treason is a crime invented by winners as an excuse for hanging the losers!"

I love it because it's hilarious and it's very accurate!

What about you guys?

The Last of Us discussion - Different culture reactions

Hello!

I recently learned about the video game The Last of Us that came out in 2013. It has received more Game of the Year awards then any other video game in history and I was very interested what people of other cultures thought of this game. I would love to start a discussion about it to see what you all think!

In case you are unfamiliar with the game, I have provided a Youtube link that is a complete playthrough of the game. It is pretty long so I don't expect anyone to watch the entire way through and I do have to warn everyone that it can get violent and does include scenes of death and suicide, so if this is a subject you would like to avoid please do not watch!

There are also English subtitles built in if that will help anyone understand!

Please help me translate this! Hello, I work for a hotel that have many Japanese men come in and I would like to give them the check in information in Japanese. I would appreciate any help I can get ;) I can only read simple Kanji, so please write in that if possible! Hello, Have you ever stayed with us before? Do you have a car? Alright, let me go over parking information with you! Parking is in the garage behind the hotel and it costs $5 a day. The fee will just be added to your room receipt. There is a sign in there that says to park on the upper levels but you can park whenever you like as long as it doesn't say reserved in front of you. We do have a back entrance to the hotel and it's marked by a blue canopy. After 7:30pm, we will lock that door so you will need your room keys to get through. Breakfast is in the lobby from 6:30am to 10am in weekdays and 7am to 11am on weekends.It's a buffet and we have a make to order chef. It costs $8.95 per person! Thank you so much!
