Chronicles of a `lovestory`
Tata-tatannnn!XD
Look who's updating her lj!
Click to viewAfter 3 months of absolute awesomess, I'm back to Italy.
It's a temporary stay, though, since Tokyo affected me to the point I've decided to ask for a VISA and to go back in April for at least six months.
My original plan was to go back to Japan in summer, for a month or even less.But as soon as I've arrived in Tokyo, I've understood that I can't stay away from that city.
It caught my heart, really.
I can't believe I'm in this condition, now, for I didn't expect to fall in love like this.
This experience has been amazing.
I've known so many amazing people, met couple of 'net friends' with whom I shared crazy and funny moments, seen so many places and learnt so much...I can't definitely stay away from such an inspiring city.
School was hard, it was a challenge and I'm happy I was able to make it through that.
It was what I wanted, I needed to improve my Japanese, and even though my skills still suck, I was able to absorbe many new things.
My class was FULL of great people, and when I define them 'great' I mean it.I miss all of them.
From the cute Indonesian girl who loves cats, to the crazy Mongolian guy who decided to make impersonations of ME (XD) or the French guy who was always late because he spent all his nights out clubbing.
He was seriously too cute.XD
Some of them will be back to their respective home countries by the time I'll be in Tokyo again, and this sadden me a bit, but I consider myself lucky for having had the opportunity to meet them.
And who knows, maybe one day we'll meet again.
Tokyo is...Tokyo!
There's no words to describe it.It's another world, something totally different from every single city I've visited.
It's too unique, too crazy, too amazing to be put into a category.
It's simply TOKYO.
You either love it or hate it, there's no middle way.
Out there it's like wonderland with its good an bad sides.
People are really something.
You can happen to be approached on the trains by old ladies who start telling you about their lives in the fastest Japanese they know, and all you can do is nodding and smiling, because you can't possibly tell them you don't understand the 80% of what they are saying when they are so eager to talk to you, to smile at you, a GAIJIN.
I've witnessed couples sharing the same table at a cafe' and not talking to each other, each of them too engrossed in their own activities: she---> sthraightening her hair with a 'flat iron'/putting on make up, contact lenses or whatever ; he---> playing with his cellphone/ Nintendo D/ PlayStation.
I was amazed by the indipendence of children.
They start going to school by themselves at a very early age.
The trains I caught were full of elementary school students.
They were so damn cute in their uniforms and carrying bags which were lot bigger than them.XD
I fell in love with Japanese children.I think I`ll adopt one.XD
See?Understood what I mean?Aren`t they adorable?
I also found the club of my dreams.Its name is NewLex.
That club rocks.
Like, seriously, it`s nothing more than a hole in the ground, but it`s too cool and the manager Taka-san is worth a visit of that place!That man is...I seriously LOVE him.XD
I`ve known so many interesting people there, really INTERESTING...
Jeez, I can`t wait to go there in April and meet them again!
The guys!Oh, the guys I`ve met were so cute and shy and protective at the same time.I loved it.Whenever they saw me in trouble(`cause of some old, drunk, gaijin.XD)they came up to me to help me.XD
I felt really touched, because they did it without being asked to.
They were very kind, and I got surprised.I thought Japanese guys were less open.
I`m happy I was wrong.
These are the songs I loved to dance the most in Lex. :D
Can`t wait for April to come, but now it`s time to Job hunt, and it`s a pain.
