Me: Have you ever been to the onsen (public bath) in Kunimi town?
Teacher: Yes, twice. But I don't like going to onsen.
Me: Oh, why not?
Teacher: I don't like people to see my face.
Me: ...Your face?
Teacher: Yes. My natural face. Without makeup.
Me: Your face...
*(So you mean to tell me that when you go bathing naked with other people you feel uncomfortable when people see your face? Your FACE? How can this be? Brain melting down...) [Can't respond...rendered speechless]
Conversation over.
