My luck is that I'm an English speaking foreigner who comes from a country that the Germans like so any discrimination against me is nominal. I have been fortunate enough to find some very good & loyal friends here over the years. Admitedly, they are quite different friends to the ones I had in South Africa. <br />Hey, & I do make use of the foreigner 'idiot bounus'(own word) on a regular basis. Like when I've made a huge faux pas or botched something up or forgotten something....it's like 'I'm a foreigner, I don't/ didn't understand properly' It definitely comes in useful now & again;) <br />Is there any chance that you will eventually move back to the States together?Buggsiebeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10869927596629764013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060148230292966531.post-69958392578041941852013-02-09T02:29:20.039+09:002013-02-09T02:29:20.039+09:00Hahaha.....I'd like to de-skunk my sons:D

NO ONE should ever be treated that way!<br /><br />Unfortunately, not much has changed. I've actually seen signs outside certain restaurants that read "No Foreigners". Tatemae is definitely a vital word one needs to learn when coming to Japan. people here maybe smiling at you, but they really don't want to deal with you. <br /><br />Nothing or no one will ever break me! And with people like yourself, the world's already a better place!

Although I missed you, I am glad that you were out exploring, and enjoying yourself. Shame it all had to end :(<br /><br />I miss the apartments in the states. Living in JP is fairly similar to living in NY, where space is a luxury. <br /><br />Wow, didn't know that about Germany. I'd love to hear about your experiences living there. <br /><br />I'm dreading the day we move out of this apartment, as moving is very expensive over here, but then again, what isn't! <br /><br />Pet skunks already come de-skunked. If only I could do the same to some people here :P<br /><br />Whenever it's too quite, my mind begins to wonder, and I find it hard to focus. But I do enjoy silence from time to time.<br /><br />Okay, so far for Spring I've picked up:<br /><br />Two quads from Lunasol<br />All the limited edition items from Laduree. The Lip Lacquers are lovely!! Going back from them later.<br />Four of the lip glosses and polishes from Addition. <br /><br /><br /><br />So Lonely in Gorgeoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02074828702121532133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060148230292966531.post-92210915971366636462013-02-02T19:23:33.641+09:002013-02-02T19:23:33.641+09:00Reading the comment by Anonymous I realise how ign...Reading the comment by Anonymous I realise how ignorant I am of Asian culture.<br />I would never have expected to hear of that kind of Racism in Japan. I guess it's the same everywhere though, people just feel more comfortable sticking to their own. Anything out of the norm is a threat. I'm sorry to hear that you have to deal with this Liz. Gosh, it's hard enough living in a foreign country without having to deal with that kind of senseless nonsense too.

I just wanted to offer empathy and support for what you have to go through. Although I am Japanese American, I remember my mom, sisters and I were kicked out of a store when we visited Japan many, many years back. My mom spoke Japanese and the fact that she never told me or my sisters why tells me it wasn't nice. I had hoped that things would have changed by now and on the surface it has, but apparently there are still many prejudices. Please keep up your happy disposition and continue to be strong. I think the world is changing more rapidly now and eventually your positive presence, the internet, and integration happening at a more rapid rate will make this world, including Japan, a more open-minded and welcoming place.

Even though Aki is 100% Japanese, born and raised, they didn't want a "gaijin", god I HATE that word, living in their apartment... disgusting! <br /><br />The Key fee is adsorbed!!!

Talk about killing that relaxed holiday feeling within a couple of hours....actually minutes!!<br />YAY for the Beautiful Blogger award:))<br />I was surprised while home hunting with a friend in the USA that appartments came fully fitted with kitchens, appliances, light fixtures....the works! You kind of expect to have a built in husband & kids too:D<br />I wonder how it is in other countries. Certainly here in Germany you also only get an empty cavity. When people move out of a flat here they actually dismantle & take their entire kitchen with them! It's quite crazy!<br /><br />Hmmmmm....it could get just a tad smelly with a pet skunk, unless you have it's scent glands removed. I don't think that skunks appreciate the operation much though:(<br /><br />When I'm alone at home I really enjoy silence so apparently I'm going to love being dead:)I wasn't always like this. Once you have yourself a bunch of noisy kids each with a TV blaring and a music system running on LOUD & perhaps also a few friends over to hang out, you start to yearn for DEAD silence!)<br />So what are your Spring 2013 make up purchses/ have-to-haves?

To have your own dishwasher and fridge when moving from apartment to apartment? This is so crazy. In Europe, you get your salary once a month as well. I was rather surprised when I moved to the USA, and learned that people get paid twice a month. I like more the former. Although I have a dishwasher, I love washing dishes as well.

While I haven't thought about giving things souls, I do appreciate the person(s) who made objects I own even if I don't know who they are, particularly if the object is handmade, and feel that there is a bit of them in the object which I feel privileged to now care for. Now that I think about it, there are a lot of people in my house!!! but I love that community of caring and love.<br /><br />p.s. I offer condolences for your plant; I know that feels bad. Houseplants are hard to raise, try instead those mini bamboo stalks which live in water and last a long time without anything but more water.
