been awhile
i haven't typed anything in a bit. been busy...been tired...haven't wanted to - so there. however, i have been writing in my journal so i'll transcribe some of it here. but first, today there was a darling little girl - maybe 3? - parading about on a little side street in a red dress and mother's (or somebody's) high heels. she was adoable, and obliged when i asked to take her photo. i showed her the photo on the camera and she laughed grandly. i quite fell in love (did i not tell you i was beginning to sound australian/british? it's a luverly language, innit?). today we bagan rehearsing on the actual set. i'm not allowed to post photos - confidentiality, and all that - but, i think there are some images up on the universal studios japan website. you can't laugh at me. i AM going to be wearing a squirrel suit -BUT i am getting paid nicely to live here, thank you (at least, that's what i keep telling myself, and apparently anyone else who will listen...)
so anyway, i've joined a hot yoga studio, where i am, so far as i can tell the only gaijin (foreigner) altho the ladies at the desk seem happy i'm there and we practice each other's language. the chinese acrobats are becoming less shy, and the russians less clique-y, the auststralians/americans/british are, well i don't have a good objective point of view, we're like you'd expect i suppose. all in all, we get along, and i do enjoy the variety and the connections we're all making. hopefully, after this year there'll be some traveling to Kiev and Moscow and visits from such places as well to wherever i'll be.
i wanted to share some of the funny inconsistencies here, for instance, in public bathrooms one tends to find either a squat toilet or a high-tech, seat-heated, bidet with, in the ladies' room, a button for "flush sound" to cover any immodest noises one's body may make.
hmm. i think i'll end on that note. o-tsu kare sama deshita.
