I think most of Murakami's speech would be here.

"So I have come to Jerusalem. I have a come as a novelist, that is - a spinner of lies.

"Novelists aren't the only ones who tell lies - politicians do (sorry, Mr. President) - and diplomats, too. But something distinguishes the novelists from the others. We aren't prosecuted for our lies: we are praised. And the bigger the lie, the more praise we get.

"The difference between our lies and their lies is that our lies help bring out the truth. It's hard to grasp the truth in its entirety - so we transfer it to the fictional realm. But first, we have to clarify where the truth lies within ourselves.

"Today, I will tell the truth. There are only a few days a year when I do not engage in telling lies. Today is one of them."

This kind of made me tear. ;_;

bonus!

I was giggling throughout the clip.

Homestay or Dorm?

I stumbled upon this blog chronicling this guy's stay in Japan as a Waseda exchange student and I'm very much stoked (even though I'm supposed to be finishing Burmese Days andLady Audley's Secret - I'm very much screwed.)

I was always kind of psyched at getting Hoshien or the International Dorm (preferably Hoshien because most of the people I know have stayed there and have an a rockin' good time) but now I'm swinging more to the side of trying a homestay. For one, it'll be easier on the wallet. The only thing I'm afraid of is of getting an overbearing family (note: my own family's pretty liberal and we can come back as late as we want provided we give a call back like say, before 9pm and we're pretty much allowed to do whatever we want - Hey mom & dad, you rock!) that has impossible curfews (e.g. 10pm) or would balk at me bringing back figures occasionally. That means, no otaku-phobic family. Haha, I think I need Murakami as my host-dad. HAHA.

But yeah, I am slightly afraid of possible screw-ups I might make. I'm not the neatest person around, and I am - I admit - lazy. I do housework, clean up and all that but I do take my time to do it. (Like, 15 minutes of slacking before I decide that I should mop the floor.) But I do do things semi-efficiently. I don't know. I personally feel that homestays are the best way of experiencing the Japanese way of living but that might come at the expense of making other friends, international or Japanese.

If I stay in a dorm, I'd definitely get to make friends - mostly fellow SILS-er - but not as much Japanese interaction unless I put myself out there.

Homestays are a lot easier on the wallet too though. I dunno. I'll like, see how everything goes in May-June when I get stuff and have to send stuff out again. Both are different experiences, and both can go either way depending on my luck so hmm...
