Japanese Notes:

ええ〜？
Ee〜? (Short "E" sound)
- "Uh huh... Really?"
(Mentioned by Donna when sharing a little advice about adjusting to life in Japan.)

納豆（なっとう）
Natto
- A dish of fermented soybeans that oftentimes requires an acquired taste. It has a very sticky texture and pungent scent.
(Many people not familiar with Natto usually react very strongly to the fragrant aroma... and may flee. There are many Japanese who do not care for the taste or smell either, but those who like it enjoy it very much.)

鮪（まぐろ）
Maguro
- Tuna
(Often eaten raw in sushi, as sashimi, etc.)

鮪納豆（まぐろなっとう）
Maguro-Natto
- Diced Maguro mixed with Natto.
(A combination of Natto and Maguro and is usually topped with green onions, dried seaweed (Nori) and seasoned with soy sauce.)

麻布十番（あざぶじゅうばん）
Azabu Juban
- An area within Tokyo near Roppongi and Akasaka.
(Mentioned by Donna when sharing where a tasty bowl of Maguro-Natto could be found.)

ええ、オーストラリアから？ええー？
クロコダイルダンディーでしょう？
Ee-, Australia kara? Ee-?
Crocodile Dundee desho?
- Whaaat, you're from Australia? Really?
- As in "Crocodile Dundee," right?
(Shared by Donna when describing a common reaction from people in Japan when they learn that she is from Australia.)

新幹線（しんかんせん）
Shinkansen
- Bullet Train
(Donna kindly re-enacted her voice-acting/narration of the announcement that she recorded for the Shinkansen.)
