Hi, Calger, RTT here. Just a note to let you know that I love your updates, no matter how brief. And, of course, I'm glad you got your phone back!
I recommended this journal to my Asian Studies professor after a lecture on cultural perceptions because it seemed to be that you were LIVING with cultural perceptions vs. cultural reality in your efforts to adjust to life in Japan.
Hey! Glad to hear you got your phone back and your right that would never happen in America. You'd have had better luck looking for a needle in a hay stack here. I never knew that yellow tea kettles showed up alot in anime! The things you learn! This week is my last football game. We're going up against Norwood (no offense to anyone), the team of stoners. Coach Sheilds made us run alot yesterday because some people didn't have their pads. It sucked, Im still sore. Lets see whats happened over here...... Oh! Mr. Ballrickter is the guy who replaced you at St. V. And St. V by the way is a mess. There's a road going through the feild by the church, all the trees and plants are gone cept grass, the cafateria has giant glass windows now, and Mr. M is still being a prick I hear. Other than that not much new around here.- Asa

Yeah, I know about Mr. Baurichter (where on earth did you get that spelling from?), I'm sure he's going a good job in my place, plus he gets to see his kids more this way, always a good thing :) As for Mr. M, you shouldn't say things like that about people, especially in such a public forum. Language Asa, language. Besides which, the guy gave me a job, so he's not that bad. Good luck with your game!
Wai! That's totally amazing, Calger-san! ^_^ It's so beautiful. *wishes she could paint like that* Oh well, not everyone can be artistically talented like that! Heh. I can't wait to see it when it's finished - you'll post another pic, right? I hope so, it would definitely be a treat to see.
That's so cool about your cell. One of the reasons I never got one was because I'd be too afraid of losing it. I lose everything, ^_^;; Bad me, yeah, but I'm resigned to it. Luckily you lost it in a place full of nice people! It's always reassuring to know that some people still have a conscience...
Out of curiousity... is ketai Japanese for cell phone? *will feel like an idiot if she's wrong, but...*
Of course I'll post another pic ^_^ Hopefully I can get it out into the sunlight and get a decent photo this time around. Ketai is Japanese for cell phone, so I'm used to calling it that now, but really it's so different from a US cell phone (it has the ability to take photos and video, and loads of other useful things) it deserves it's own term, so I'll probably keep calling it a ketai in my posts. I lose things all the time too...it just means I'll have to be extra careful with my things from now on -_-;;
Just had to buy a new textbook for my Japanese Civilization class...it essentially seems to be a guidebook full of stories from mostly English teachers in Japan. Apparently if you steal a bicycle, get caught, and it's your first offense, it's no problem. I'm sure you'll know how to apply this information wisely.
Another story in there was about how lost credit cards at department stores were simply taped to a bulletin board in the hopes that the owners would return. Very trusting.
And since when have you had a cell phone? I'm obviously behind on the times.
Hi there! I've had a cell since...umm about mid-Sept. I think. I don't call very much with it (it's pretty expensive, about 30 yen a minute) but I send a lot of emails to people. I doubt I'll need one when I come home, but here it's a bit of a necessity (especially when you have a quick question in the middle of the day at school that only another English-speaker can answer).
Interesting book, I'll have to borrow it from you at some point :) What they do at Saga Eki (the train station) is they tag the bikes and then cart a certain percentage of them away in the middle of the day. Where they go from there I have no idea...I'm hoping to avoid that fate. I think the people at the place I've been stashing my bike are getting wise to me though, my bike was moved this last time I went to pick it up. Oops. Oh well, I hope school's going well for you, ja!
