I didn´t manage it...
carschti, 11:38h
Yesterday 9:55 pm at Omiya station track 11:
"Hey man, what´s your name?"
" Carsten- and your´s?"
"Well, I´m Trevor, English teacher. Where are you going to?"
He´s looks like a short, slightly drunk american guy in company with a cute japanese girl.
" To Kagohara"
"Ahh, I´m going to Ageo. What are you doing here?"
"I just was in Yokohama with a friend of mine. And now I will go back."
"Where is she?"
"Uhmmm, she´s going home to Urawa."
"So you didn´t manage to bring her to your place? "
I wished him a nice evening and left.
Being in Japan means you´re an alien. And to be recognized as one. Being with a white girl means you are a tourist with your wife, who can understand Japanese better than you do. Being with a japanese man, means he´s your translator. Being with an japanese woman means she is either your translator or when she looks adorable she´s your girlfriend.
I hate that most people think in categories.
