Tokyo, my second home!

Feb 02, 2011 23:09

It's great to be back. I never thought I'd miss being gawked at for being tall and dirty blonde, but apparently I did. And right when we came out of the gate, my host parents gave me a small present for Coming of Age Day since I wasn't here for it. I love my Japanese family.

Last month I mentioned one of my old flatmates is from Queensland and had ( Read more... )

Thanks! It's been a couple of years.

What were you stared at for? I'm guessing it's not because you're foreign, like me?

Ooooh, that's bad Japanese parenting. How late would it be now, and why didn't you get one in the first place?

Ugh, that sounds a lot worse than the attention I'm getting. I mostly get passersby staring from a distance; I couldn't imagine having the media in on it as well.

Good luck getting one out of your in-laws, then. Sorry about your parents.

Welcome back! :)

I completely understand how you feel about the staring...You learn to ignore it though.

You and Pukamon need to come see us soon!

Thanks! At least you don't have an accent...

When are you free?

child0f_hope February 3 2011, 08:51:58 UTC

Well, if it's alright with you, I have no classes on Saturday.

Works for us! Got anything in mind?

Welcome back to Japan. :)
I would love to see your partner wearing that cowboy hat-
and hopefully he'll like the bag as much, so I won't feel guilty for taking it away from him.

I usually work at Shibuya, if you don't mind meeting after 5pm.
That's when I usually get off.

I have a shift tomorrow, so we could meet up by the Hachiko statue at 6pm.
I have orange hair and I will be wearing a pair of red gloves with yellow coat, so I should be reletively easy to find.

Sora considered a moment to give out her phone number but decided not to because she didn't feel comfortable.

Sounds good to me. My host sister loves Shibuya so I was going to be there anyway.

You've seen my photos. I'll be in that same black coat, but I'll probably stick out even more because I'm kind of 1.85m tall.

turntoash February 4 2011, 08:51:33 UTC

Thanks! The hat's a bit big for him; he'll probably be glad to be rid of it. I think he'll like the bag: Having his own things is still a bit of a novelty for him.
