Howdy folks.
So today, I'm standing on the train coming back from Kyoto Station, and there's this fairly stylish younger guy sitting in front of me. Of course, he has one of those man purses that seem oh so popular here, and a variety of odd things within.
The strangest of which is a small mirror with which he can check his makeup and his hair.
And guess what he did? He checked his make up and his hair, making sure everything was in order. I'm clearly bias because I'm an American, but nonetheless I found it strange for a Japanese guy to check his hair and makeup via a small mirror. Something about it just didn't float right in my head.
I suppose a lot of things are like that here though.
Take Japanese toilets. They. Are. Fucking. Crazy.
I knew they were wild even when I was a kid, but I guess it doesn't sink in just how crazy they are till you use one, and promptly become frightened by the strange noises and features it forces on you.
Would you like a high-pressure lazer water with your bathroom exploits?
Third day of classes was a hoot. Turns out my Gardening class meets only on Fridays. So Tuesday and Wednesday, I'm only going to have one class in the morning. VICTORY.
Tomorrow is the beginning of placement stuff, so wish me luck. I should be ok though.
Alright you slimy vixens, please, feel free to comment and tell me about what you're up to. I'd love to hear from you. And if you have any questions about life in Japan, send me a line. I'd be happy to answer. Maybe. If I can. Hehehe.
Stay frosty folks!

Man purses are hot here too...glad I've got my sumka
Don't hate on the man purses, dude. They need to come over here, pronto. How much easier would guys' lives be if they didn't have to carry all their crap in their pockets? (Or if women's business dress clothes HAD pockets.) Miss you!
