Things I have learned whilst being in Japan....
1) If they are eager for you to eat something, guranteed it is because they know most westerners don't like it! I have experienced nato twice now, it still feels like someone spit in my beans.
2) Having blue eyes here is a big confidence boost, you will be told you're beautiful, quite a bit.
3) You can go into a toy shop and not be the only 20 something without a child, looking at the dragionball z figures.
4) Not understanding Japanese tv is probably a bonus, as what they are actually saying will never be as amusing as the words I give them.
and 5) I am most likely going to die a withered husk in my house this August as my fluids will have been absorbed by the sun, it is hot!
But I am having a great time at the moment, I have made some good friends and I am looking forward to the summer holidays to explore a little more.
I don't have a scanner at the mo, so my art posting will be non existent for a while, but I will get one eventually!
Take care ^^

Great to hear you're having a mostly good time in Japan. The humidity is a killer.... Oh... speaking of which... they may ask you to try eat some eels during this season if they haven't already. It's something people eat a lot in the summer for energy and to combat the draining sensation from the heat and humidity.
