man, to think that for ~3 years my main source of english-language 
information-esque stuff was via the JT.

Then this internet thing came and I was good to go. Hell with
broadband you can become a virtual resident of the fatherland again. A
VHS tape of Seinfeld episodes was the arc of the covenant back in the
day...

As for the letter itself, in my eikaiwa free conversation classes I
would bring this point up sometimes, but it never really worked well
as a convo starter. Too close to home most like.
