Sleepless in Japan

May 30, 2008 19:37

Hi everybody,

a public entry for a change and all I'm gonna do is complain now .... which (if you know me) I don't really do often, so you might skip this as well.

What can I say? I really love my life in Japan so far. I love (most of) my students and being a teacher is a lot of fun as well.
Today I don't want to write about my work though.
The first excitement is gone now and it has become kind of boring lately. Basically all I do is go to work, eat and sleep. In between I watch anime/jdramas, read doujinshi/manga and try to study more Japanese.
I haven't made any Japanese friends here yet either. I love hanging out with leviosa8, but she's leaving Japan sooon :/
So I have to find something to make my stay more interesting again. I'll try to go out and find people who are willing to give me private Japanese lessons soon, but there's another problem I have to solve first ... a really huge one:

Some of you might remember the female university student that is living next door. I mentioned her and her behavior in one of my previous entries. For those who can't remember. She's not considerate at all. In fact she's being loud as hell.
Every single second, every night, every day. She loves to play video games till late at night (way past 3am!!!!!) veeeeerrrrrry loud!
Or she just throws a party like yesterday night. Her apartment is as small as mine, so verrryyy small. I don't even know how s.b. can think of throwing a party in such a small apartment anyway.
The point is she was awake all night again with her friends being loud, listening to music as if they were in a disco and stuff like that.
I've had enough by now! I've reached my limit! I can't stand it any more! I didn't sleep at all last night of course! And she was still going on the whole morning/afternoon listening to some tv show so loud that I could hear every single word that was said on tv!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if that girl ever sleeps .... or goes to university at all???!!! ... Maybe she has a twin sister and they sleep in turns? .....

Sorry I'm blabbering nonsense, but this might be because I'm just too tired!

Anyway I wrote a message to one of the daugthers of my boss yesterday that I can't take it any longer and that I can't do my work properly if I don't get any sleep (obviously). She told her father (my boss) and he complained today again. His wife already complained twice.
He told me today that the housing company already complained to her directly ... and to her university (??!!) ...... that makes it even worse!! Then why the hell is she still being so loud, even throwing parties all night long!! I can't believe that girl!
If I'd receive a complaint like that, I would be SUPER quiet, no??!!!
My boss told them to complain again and inform her parents as well, but seriously I'm pretty sure that this won't work either.
I hate that indirect Japanese way of doing things. I'd love to go over to her, tell her off, yell at her (and then kill her ...) ... *sigh*

So right now I seriously have to consider what to do.
I guess the only way is for me to move out. ... but that will be very expensive and the apartment of my coworker (see prev entry) would be way more expensive than mine, plus I wouldn't have free internet! Why the hell should I move all of my stuff, pay a lot of money and have less money each month (because of higher rent), just because that bitch hasn't any common sense?

There should be some laws in Japan for this, too, no?
Like every apartment and housing company has some kind of rules (e.g. don't be loud after 10pm and before 8am or whatever ...) and if you can't follow those rules they are allowed to throw you out of the apartment?? I don't know if Japan has any rules like that ... all I can say is that right now I'm soooo soooooo sick of it!
Not Japan, not my job, not my decision to come here, oooooooonly that girl and her behavior! .......

I'm really tired and my poor nerves! It's not good for my health. Even if my body was able to sleep while hearing loud noises, my anger is not going to vanish ....it all sums up in my stomach right now and I feel it's not good for my hear either ... having to worry and being angry every day/night. I don't want to live like that.
JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP STUPID BITCH!!!!!

It's not the first time that I run into problems like that. Actually I have a looong history of problems of the same kind in Germany, but at least I could go to their doors and complain directly (or call the police).
Somehow loud neighbours follow me wherever I go.
I have very good ears and a light sleep ... that I admit, but I live besides the main road and near rails. I hear cars and trains all night long, but after a week I didn't care anymore and I got used to it quickly ... but there is just no way in hell that I'll get used to that noisy bitch!

If there's a way to teach your body how to sleep even within the loudest atmosphere, then please tell me all about it!

And yes of course I'm already using earplugs, but it's not helping at all ... *sigh*

Right now I'm sitting at work and actually ... for the first time I'd rather stay here than going home. I don't want to go home, to return to that hellish apartment, that noisy bitch. I really wanna smack her, beat her up and whatnot ..... you can't even imagine!

*sigh* Bitch, you're ruining my life in Japan! Go to hell!

Sorry, that had to be said!!

I wish you all a nice weekend. Hopefully a quiet one with a lot of sleep.

Meanwhile I try to figure out how to get some sleep or I will be half-dead soon.

Bye~buu

*japan, *japan: life, *japan: wtf
