Pre Japan update

[rachel_riecheru]

I am sitting on my bed laughing in hysterics at myself, do you want to know why?

Because in my plight to choose a window seat with a seat thats unreserved next to me i chose the following seat. "58k"... once i noticed this i couldn't help but laugh, i then looked at all the other flights, and all the "58" rows had window seats with a seat available next to it. So i scooped them all up.

Crap i am a mental fangirl, but surely thats a good way to start a trip to the land of Yaoi, (among other things.) right?

Today i went for an hour long walk and my ankle only hurt for 8 times (for around a second) during the walk so its much much better, ^_^

I've almost finished packing, par a few extra clothing most of it is completed.

I am very excited!!! I can't wait to sit in the 58 seats XD!!!

No i haven't been since the earthquake. I will brace myself i was sort of expecting it. I'm a little nervous since we don't get a lot of earthquakes in Australia but i think I'll be alright :)

I don't read japanese, but do you need to when you buy manga porn lol? In my op a good manga can be read without words, http://www.mangafox.com/manga/sorenari_ni_shinken_nandesu/ this is a manga i brought on the lasts days of my trip in Shinjuku, (not sure why i was trying to shop there but whatever) and it was so wonderfully drawn i could 100% understand the story without words, only a couple of weeks ago i found that scanlation and i was spot on with everything :D

may i ask where about in Japan you live?

So do you think I could follow the stories without reading? I might try it! Although I do blush when I'm wandering around the yaoi section in the bookshops. As a European I get stared at quite a lot so it's impossible to be anonymous. You can imagine how fascinated people are about the gajin who clearly likes yaoi! Still, it makes the day more interesting for the bookshop staff.

I live in Saitama, north of Tokyo. I'm about 40 minutes from Ikebukuro by train. We're on a more stable part of the plate than Tokyo (or so I'm told) but I still spend a lot of time being woken up in the night as my flat tries to jump off the ground. Sigh.

Wow I must say I'm a little jelous u live in Japan. Yes I do know what u mean I don't get easily embarrassed so when I was buying yaoi last time (I brought large amounts too) I did get strange looks but it didn't bother me :p I even got a kbooks point card ^_^ can't wait to use it again lol.

They asked if I wanted me books wrapped in paper when I got them maybe to hide the dirty covers but I always said no I was so halogen be in Japan. My current plan is to go there once a yr until I can find a way to move there. When I was there lasttime it was the first time in my life I felt relaxed and at peace :) this time I'll be by myself which I am not sure I'm very good at, if I cab survive it and still be relaxed and at peace it proves that's the place I an destined to live.

I got out here by getting a job teaching English. So many foreigners left after March that there are lots of jobs available for native speakers of English so if you are one too then you could move out here quite easily! You need a university degree though, to get a working visa. I know someone who went to university for three years for that sole reason!

And don't worry! They always offer to wrap books in paper. It's to protect the jackets. It was no judgement of your reading habits!
