Today, for the second time in a week, I was politely asked to not whistle while I work.
Strangely enough, the only other time I was asked to suck up my whistle, was also in Japan. It was for more valid reason though, as the person who asked me to do so was a girl with a crazy fear of snakes, and she had heard that whistling at night attracts snakes. I have no idea where that belief is from, but it was valid enough for me to adhere to her request.
But why no whistling on school property? Who knows. What I do know is that I've memorised the words to "Girl, you'll be a woman soon" so that I can sing it in the teacher's room, Uma dance and all.
