Been there before

Although, despite my girlfriend teaching me the Kagawa dialect, people tell me I sound like I'm from Osaka. lol.

EDIT: Nikko, I hope you didn't take offense. Maybe I'll ask my gal what would be a good/interesting way to close off.

The reason I say "ハグとキス" (and the like,) would make little sense in Japanese is because the Japanese aren't as physically intimate as us, maybe this is the reason I've not seen an equivalent phrase in Japanese. I'm guilty of putting a few x's on the end of some of my mails, and I had to spend another 2 emails explaining what it meant.. Still, I guess it's nice to know some of these Western things still haven't completely permeated into Japanese culture
