never hated a tobey

Cultural Observation No. 18
I met a French girl when I was holidaying in Japan, she explained to me in quite an amusing way how German people speak. It was a touch racist but I did find it funny because she had a wonderful laugh and wasn't like the rest of the Cobra Kai's in the youth hostel. The other thing she explained to me was crossing the roads, in Germany and Japan, even if there are no cars on the road, under any circumstances you never cross the road. Watching them wait at the lights while I jog past and wave can feel a bit Monty Python-esque.

Cultural Observation No. 232
Germany like Japan always seems to have groups of teenage boys/guys that seem to all dress the same. I don't mean similar but the same. On the train today three lads, same style leather jacket, same colour, same pair of stone washed jeans. I would have looked harder and I probably noticed the same hair cuts. Thankfully their shoes were al different.

I slid a piece of paper under the door, on it I had written how much I was in love with her. I kissed it before I slid under the table and left without saying a word. Outside it wanted to rain but it was a beautifully bright day, a bunch of kids were playing in the street trying to unhook the cover of the fire hydrant.

She called me a few hours later after she had woken, that was the last time we ever spoke to each other. That was never by design, so I couldn't regret anything.
