Hairy Eyebrows, Garbage Bins, and Fighter Jets

What's a girl gotta do to get her eyebrows waxed in Japan?! TELL MEEE! I haven't done my eyebrows in four fricken weeks and they're beginning to crawl off my face like caterpillars! Honestly, for a nation filled with hairless people appropriate waxing salons should be in plenty! humph!

And another thing! Where are all of the garbage bins in this country?! For such a clean country you'd think there'd be mass amounts of bins! Where does all the garbage go?! Does it vanish into thin air? Hmmm...I actually wouldn't be surprise if such a device existed in Japan, the world's capital of technology!

AND ONE MORE THING! I would like to thank the Japanese airforce for putting on daily show for me. Oh yeah, I especially enjoy it when you fly your damn stealth jets over my apartment every morning at 8:40am EXACTLY! p.s. please shove your jets up your arse so that I can sleep the fuck in! Arigato Goyzamasu!

S, T, A, R, That's What I Am! Because I'm Big In Japan!

Greetings from the land of the Rising Sun or as some of us like to call it, "The Empirrrre."

Well, there's just so much for me to tell you. I should have started this from day one, but I've been so busy! So for now, I'll give you the basics. I found a job teaching English in a suburb of Tokyo called Aobadai. While I'm here I plan on saving money, paying off some debt, explore Japan, and learn as much as I can about Japanese culture and history. This is going to be such a great experience! Who out off all my friends can say that they lived in Japan? I'm so special! lol

Before I go into detail I will give you a general overview of my time here so far. Everything is in Japanese and it's frustrating that I can't read anything (looks like I'll just have to learn Japanese :)), everything is fresh, I finish work late and get home late, and I AM the only black person in this country! lol Nah, I've seen a few. Haha, and every time I see another black person we make eye contact, and give a little nod to each other. It's our way of saying, "Yeah, that's right. You're in Japan, and you're foreign AND BLACK!" lol. We never stop to say hi and bond over being black in Japan, we just move on.

Alright, I'm four weeks into living in Japan. Let's see how this part of my life turns out! And I an tell you one thing...I'm not too keen on the food...I can certainly say that I am still very hungry!
