Vlog #4

Honestly I am totally NOT plotting to kidnap this boy and his delicious voice, really........

Part time job!

Let it be known that I have found a part time job! It's off the books so yeah.... I work at an English cafe. I basically sit down and have as much coffee and tea as I want while talking to Japanese people in English. This is so that they can practice listening and speaking with an actual native speaker.

The students/customers vary in age but I usually get older businessmen. I must say that I did get an attractive surgeon on Sunday and a nice guy who manages retired baseball players. I even met a lady who a stage writer for the Japanese version of Chicago.

It usually gets repetitive though. I'm usually greeted and then asked the same questions such as how long I have been here, where I am from, what school I go to, whats my major, and why did I pick Japan. My story doesnt change lol.

I feel bad since I'm not really into politics, history or the economy so its hard to find things to talk about with the older men but ah... I can discuss one thing with the ladies and that would be Johnny's Entertainment (JE) It's so embarrassing! I still can't believe I was such a big fan back then... Oh well

I hate the Ontakesan Dorms!

OK RANT MODE! Gosh! The people here are awesome I am not gonna lie. Aki is also the most awesome-est dorm manager ever but these facilities are garbage!

The walls are paper thin so you can hear just about everything (in detail) on your floor. The kitchen is ALWAYS a mess. Just about everyone knows who the few messy people are in the dorm and they always keep the kitchen like crap! Honestly, I only cook in the morning when no one is in there and it is still somewhat decent from the kitchen duty the night before.

The showers! OMG! are horrible! There is hair everywhere! Now I know its good to wash and do a nice comb out but at least be decent enough to TRY and rinse the hair down the drain! Nope... Not at Ontakesan dorms. Huge freaking clumps fresh off the comb.

Roaches!(and spiders) Yes...I have seen more roaches at my stay here in these dorms in the past month than I have seen in my entire life! There are so many of them I started naming them after the members of Super Junior (THATS HOW MANY THERE ARE!) I'm actually running out of Super Junior names so I'm gonna move on to Exile now.

We paid so much money for this crap. It's not fair. Anyone looking to go to TUJ I suggest a home stay or finding an apartment. Do anything to avoid staying at Ontakesan! Say NO to Sakura house!
