not lost anymore
Heey sup yall' I'm back still black and with more more pics!! Other than that, I haven't been getting lost for the past day. That's right I've been pretty good with the mean streets of Japan. Well, my hood which is is in Ashiya. But other than that I've been able to walk to and from school from the Hankyu bus station without getting lost!! I am soo good and bad ass and I'm damn proud of myself! Other than that, I've been in school taking the P-course with a quiz everyday no seriously and it's like annoying... but I'm getting to know my area of Japan a little bit and the language. I'm still anxious to be fluent more than ever but I didn't realize how hard it would be. I'm also having a hard time making friends due to the fact that I'm not fluent at all like talking like a native! In other words, it's getting hard for me to make good japanese friends that are paitent with a foreign student learning their language! Other than that the thing that I'm really impressed about Japan is that single mother's are really really rare. Like I see a 2 parent family and not a single home which is a great thing because I believe that a child can't deal with one without the other without wondering where's my dad or mom. In other words, the dad's really step it and take care of their kids not just financially but also mentally too so I give you props! In America, it's soo sad to see so many single mothers esp. without the care they need! Other than that, the mom's look good like they're 40's but looking like they're in their 20's which is a great thing! I feel like we go backwards with culture a lot of americans in their 20's look like they're in their 40's and the japanese look like their 20's in their 40's. But yeah, another thing I like is that people don't waste their food here when they get a meal they eat up everything! Like nothing is wasted which I think is a great thing!! We can definatly learn a lot from the japanese culture! Another thing I like is the fact that if you're bored or something you can hope off the train to Kyoto or Kobe within' an hour or to Osaka depending on where you live though but that's still a great thing though! I feel that's better than Vegas where you can't really go anywhere except by car and then you have to pay for gas and all this mess. Not only that but the cities are really different too that's the great thing you can always experience something differend for that weekend. I'm thinking of hitting up Kobe up myself pretty soon and maybe Kyoto! Other than that I've been taking lots and lots of pics. and still trying to master this language, but even though it's tough I do plan on moving here though! But besides that the one thing I do miss that they don't have in japan is TACO BELL and their MEXICAN PIZZA omg I would die for that right now. Oh one more thing the thing about the japanese culture is the amount of good cafes and bakeries omg! I love going to the bakeries and the cafes it is awesome I admit it it's addictive. Not only that but the pastries are usually freshly baked too yum yum! They're pretty cheap like $1-3 cheap not bad! Well anyways I will take more pics. So I gotcha well love, soul, and peace!

Ohhh, you're in Ashiya, not Osaka! That makes sense then, it's not as crazy far from KGU. Still far, but yeah. But man, Ashiya, the "Beverly Hills of Japan", eh? You're living in the rich part of town :P
But congrats on finding your way around :) I imagine it'll become routine soon. ;)
As for single mothers, yeah, that's probably an American thing, I don't think I've ever met a single mother in my entire life here in New Brunswick. Not that there aren't any, but they're not so common. And the train thing yes, that is so awesome about Japan, one thing I hate home is that we can't get anywhere without cars, and I don't have a car and I don't want one either, but in Japan, you can go anywhere!
Well, 8 days, and I'll be tagging along. :P
