o_O <<<---that is what my face looks like.
Here's what happened.
This girl and her international student friends were in Osaka (#represent) and were about to get on the train to meet some other friends. They knew they'd be on it for a while so they all ran to McDonalds (there has to be better street food in Osaka), bought some stuff and then hopped on the train.
She was like "Euhhhhh, whyyy is everyone staring at ussssss?"
OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE YOU'RE WHITE AND NOBODY EATS ON THE TRAIN.
Gurl. Here's the thing: if you are an American, you will be gawked at. And if you break a rule while also being American, you will be double-gawked at.I have a THREE HOUR TRAIN RIDE. EVERY DAY. That's an hour-and-a-half TO school and an hour-and-a-half FROM school.
No eating?
I'll look like a whippet.
Maybe if I bring some little weights I'll look like Starla from Napoleon Dynamite. ^^^^
Just kidding. I don't think the Japanese commuter-folk would like that either.
It'd be like Richard Simmons walking into a sushi-yama.
No thanks.
Anyway, it's getting to that point where I'm excited and terrified in equal amounts. 50% elation, 50% pleading-with-god.
I'll just bribe people to like me with Kit-Kats. I hear they're HUGE over there.
