It is fun going places in Tokyo with kiddo. Strangers are much more likely to start conversations in Japanese with kiddo than they are with me. I guess kiddo looks like the sort of westerner who would know some Japanese...? And they do know enough conversational Japanese to muddle along.

We do well together because I'm better at reading Japanese & have a wider vocab, whereas kiddo is better at listening and speaking.
