So it is my 2nd and a half day in Sakasai. The area is really quiet, apart from the regular train which drives past (we live right by the train tracks). It's a nice place really, it reminds me a little of where my grandparents live..it's the same kind of peace. Only that here..massive spiders reside in the trees. Luckily my window has a netting so I can have it open but prevent any 8 legged intruders from entering my lair. if they ever do..I think I will scream so loud that it will send the whole village running. About 3 stops further from here is Kashiwa. It's a cool place! A tiny Tokyo, with plenty of funky shopping! I've already seen tons of stuff I soooo want!!! Jaaaaaa. Oh dear -girly side coming out. It's good to finally see a whole bunch of good looking japanese (albeit camp looking) lads around the area. They all have funky hair and dress a bit feminine...but hey..I guess the feminine look is in here. Considering when I look at some of their (the boys) hands..they're daintier than mine by far, and have immaculate nails...as if they go to a nail salon....bizarre!!!! Not that I spend my time staring at boys hands!!! I just happen to notice it!!! really!
In the morning I wake up to the lovely sounds of two cockerels having some heated debate about football across the village. (Well I can't be sure it's football..it could be a fight about the hottest chick in the village...or something like that). So one will go off...then a few seconds later you will hear the other one from far away answer...and this then goes on for about.....the whole day?
I have been waking up at around 6 every morning, because it's been trained in now, from that week in Numazu. Which isn't handy when you're feeling like...excrement..because your nose is blocked up, your voice is gone, and your head has a little orchestra of drums playing in it. But hey, I have bought a whole bunch of vitamin C sweets. One thing I don't get here is that Japan is really recycling obsessed. That's not the bit I don't get..I think it's great that they all recycle lots - great example to the rest of the world (Apart from Germany which already does it! HA!). The bit I don't get is that when you buy sweets, or biscuits or something else that has more than one thing in it, it is all individually wrapped in it's own plastic wrapping. So go buy a packet of 10 biscuits, and each one will be individually wrapped in (hard to open) plastic. How does that make sense?????
Right I've put some more picture up of my flat due to requests! Apologies for the mess! I was doing the washing!
