Daily Life...

...is wonderful! Mondays off, so we have a 3day long weekend!
In my class, Adjusting to Japan, we were told to write a journal on daily bases, so I'm gonna try. Starting now. I want to dedicate this blog to things that annoy me about Japan. There are a couple of things, of course, it's just normal..don't hate me!

1. The screaming women. They stand outside of their shops and constantly yelling: IIIIIIIRAAAAAASHAAAAAAIIIIIMAAAAASEEEEEEE DOOOOOUZOOOOOUUUUU. It's not just the yelling, it's the voice they yell in. Apparently you must have the worlds most annoying voice to get this job..


2. The chairs and tables: Of course Japan is build for smaller people...But I'm not tall, and still my legs do not fit under tables! and because of that...my legs look like old fruits, scraped and bruised.

3. The individually wrapped things: Everything is individually wrapped! You buy a package of cheese... every single slice is individually wrapped, cookies, candy, EVERYTHING! Must cost a fortune!


4. The bullet pillows: Oh there are no words for those! They are small, they are filled with..bullets and they are UNCOMFORTABLE!! They are so hard and small that you wake up with a concussion if you roll of them.

5. The no garbage cans in the streets: Why aren't there any garbage cans!?!? You can get rid of pet bottles and cans...but ordinary garbage!? nono, just stick it in your pocket or bag and get rid of it when you come home!

6. The garbage recycle: Okay I get recycling but come on! Burnable, non burnable, cartons, stacks of paper, glass, cans, I will never learn what goes in what bag and where to throw it away!

7. The yellow marks in the sidewalk. Well I get why they're there, for the blind people to know when they arrive at an intersection. Love the idea, but for clumsy me, I constantly bike sideways into the grooves, and almost fall over.

8. The fact that everything is 90 minutes: Enough said.

Only 8 facts that really annoy me! (I'll probably come across more over the time) I love Japan, and my life! (apart from those 8 things...)


This weekend I went on a study trip! It was so awesome, we went rice harversting, bbq-ed, danced with a Japanese Beatles cover band, made pottery in Europe.. went to an Onsen, and ...more? Just look at the pictures! they say more then my words!
