speed walkers: 'osaka-jin'
"japanese people are famous for being the fastest walkers in the world, especially those from osaka. it could be said that people in osaka are the most impatient people in japan.
there are many traffic lights for pedestrians in osaka which displays how many seconds you must wait until the light turns green. even still, many people start walking when the display shows "10 more seconds." [justine input: shocking in japan!] during the morning rush hour at train stations, for example, you can see the difference between people in tokyo and osaka. people in tokyo stand on the left side of the escalators, and walk up or down the right side. however, everyone walks up and down both sides of the escalators in osaka. it's almost as if there is a rule that says you must. when you visit osaka, you might walk faster than usual without even noticing it, but please be careful in traffic"
hilarious. maybe i should move to osaka.

I know i just told u this justine, but guys, one of my san-nenseis just went mental and punched some windows out, kicked the shit outta some poor girl, then starts on the teachers...my my, what an exciting day it is!
The weather is crap.
I want me some blog action, i think i will succumb to your internet geek world.
But ONLY if y'all promise to comment like the good friends you all are!

kitty-chan, i love the way you never comment on what i have actually written in my blog. no matter, i suppose that's what blogs are all about and i still love you.
second: your blog. i've visited it several times and have posted messages BUT you've not written in it.
third: nothing like a little bit of mischief to make your day a bit more exciting, eh? san-nensei CHUgakko? so he's like what, 15 or 16? that's kinda scary actually. did they send him home? did the girl recover after you gave her chocolate?
what name are you going to give yourself for n-chan's book?
to remain off topic.. kitty-chan what is the name of your blog??? today sucks.
"the weather is crap" is the understatement of the week,
it is disgusting, this amalgam of falling rain and snow gives me a creepy feeling inside. i am so sad i did not come lastnight i miss you ladies,
we are going to tochio this weekend for snow festivities... and American girls. have to miss you again.
