Well... all settled now. Kind of.

Maybe its because I'm staying so close to where I used to, but ... I saw another girl I used to teach today. (Different student to who I bumped into last year.) She was riding her bike and gave me a funny look before riding back up to me again. It's so great that they remember me! :)

On the train from the airport, I couldnt get a seat and I saw that one woman was looking at me sympathetically with all my luggage. When she got off she asked the guy sitting next to her (in Japanese) 'Can you move along so this girl can sit down next to her luggage?' The man shock his head and didn't look up. The woman repeated what she said again, this time pointing at me, but the man shock his head and said 'No. She's a foreigner'. Not that I really wanted to sit down - I only had a couple of stops to go, but I wish I hadnt of understood/heard the conversation...

My room is fab-dab :-)
