When I started reading this I thought for sure that an old lady had knifed you in an ally way. My mind began to think about all the stories I've heard about how low the crime rate was in Japan. Then I started wondering if your "Instincts" allowed you to dodge a second swipe by the old lady. Glad it got cleared up as I read, and turned out to be less dramatic. Though admittedly I was yearning for ninja combat between you and grandma. Oh well, maybe next time. Ok. When I started reading this I thought for sure that an old lady had knifed you in an ally way.

People mostly stay very quiet here, not like trains in NY or elsewhere. Thanks :) I should be able to use the train a bit more for conversations, but unfortunately the trains are normally very un-talkative atmospheres.

Japanese is a hard language to learn but you're doing a great job practicing all day, plus you get to hear Japanese all day and practice with Ayako :) That kind of experiences are cool, I understand how you feel because I've gone through experiences like that too! Believe me, it does help you A LOT to keep learning and it's encouraging when people are nice and talk to you instead of giving you a dirty look :D I had good experiences there in the US and I got to learn a lot, each time I got to learn a whole bunch of new things! Aw...good times...*sigh* makes me kinda sad to think about it too. Oh well. I hope you get well and your hand is ok! Take care of it and don't let it get infected or anything :) Oh, there is hope, you’ll see!
