There are foreigners in Japan
plenty but few of them stand out as much as I did on the rush hour train this afternoon. Yes there are differences between the typical Korean or Chinese/Cantonese person from the typical Japanese such as bone structure etc but what makes me different is noticeable from a mile away.
It causes the gawps and stares from some people and the smiles and waves from others.
I moved into my residence for the next month which is a nice apartment in Esaka, northern Osaka with a couple who rent out their room for foreigners like myself who want to experience real Japan. we cal this a homestay.
I was met by my host at Esaka station and escorted minutes away from the station to a nice APAATO building. took the ERIBAITA o the 3rd Kai which is our 2nd Kai as the Japanese don't have a ground floor (oooh spooky)
Today was my level test for a japanese language school 214 questions which graded me as intermediate. i sampled a couple of classes and have agreed to start on wednesday 3 times a week for a month, which is what I could stretch to financially.
how much can you cover in a month i wonder. Ganbarimasu I think.
I am shattered I have a full diary from tomorrow I think and my legs are killing from football the other da. Tomorrow I am going to study and rest, study and rest. My futon is already spread out so, now im a roll into bed i mean Futon and watch Naruto.
Yaye internet is back
