It's amazing how different his English accent is from the rest of his family's now (I'm assuming now). So interesting how an exchange year can really change the way you speak a language. I did an exchange year in Spain, and when I came back my family kept telling me my Spanish cadence had started to match that of Spain's spanish.
+lucy heartfelia I bet you'll like it in Japan I've been there myself. I was actually born in Japan this year is going on 32 years ago. I've haven't been there in a very long time since I was 2 and a half almost 3 when we left Japan. So you can say I don't remember much of it very well since I was so young when I was there and left there. So the only memories I have of Japan is from all of my baby pictures and whatever my mother mentions or tells me what we did there. But one day in the future I'd like to return to my birthplace to see how much it has changed since I've had been there. Since the last time I was in Japan was in the summer months of 1987 which is about to be 29 years since I've been to Japan. And that is a really long time. Plus I wasn't even in Japan as an exchange student I was there because my father was in the United States Marine Corps and he was stationed in Iwakuni, Japan around the time I was born. That is the main reason why I was born in Japan but I was born on land that belonged to the United States as an US Air Force Base near the capital city just outside the city of Tokyo. So I was born as an American citizen in a foreign country. Every time I tell people I was born in Japan they automatically think I have dual citizenship but it not true. I was just born as an American citizen on an American military base in the foreign nation of Japan. That doesn't mean I have dual citizenship between two countries like Japan and the United States of America. Even though I never stepped foot in the very nation I had citizenship to until I was a year old like two to three months after my first birthday to come visit my grandparents for the first time. But I do wish to go back to Japan as an adult one day since right now I am in a situation where I can't travel as much as I did back when I was a child.
