Getting a haircut

Well, as always in Japan, when you think things are getting normal, it will surprise you once again. Today I went for a haircut.. I brought with me: 2 dictionaries (JP->EN and EN->JP), one piece of paper with something written on it I couldn't read (which supposedly was how I wanted my hair done), and a lot of courage. 10 minutes later and a lot of hair and only 1000 Yen (EUR 7,80) lighter, I had had my haircut, AND was vacuumed with a vacuum cleaner.. and I think it doesn't even look that bad. Moreover, I didn't even have to use the dictionaries!!! (Thanks Takako, for the writing!)
Amazing.... Japan.

3 months after leaving...

...and the interesting experiences from the beginning are getting more normal now. Did I already write that they call the green traffic light blue here? The color is the same, but somehow, Japanese call it blue.... Oh, by the way, If someone ever tells you about the autumn skies in Japan, and tell you there is nothing like it, just believe it. Because that's the way it is... I've never seen nicer skies then the evening skies here now.

And now you are reading this, I'd also like to ask you something; "How are you doing?" Please let me know how things are going with you, since I am almost forgetting there is a life besides the wonderful one I'm having here ;-)!

Hope to hear from you soon!
