Boys

Today Shuri(boy in Katharinas class) had taken Katharinas chair and was speaking to a friend. When he saw her coming he instantly stood up, placed her chair by her desk, and bowed to her. No, I'm not kidding, he BOWED. Seriously, he's so shy, and so incredible cute! It's very normal for Japanese people to bow for people they don't know, and people who're older than you, but not your classmates. Most people don't bother naming us with the additonal -san enymore either (maybe because I asked them not to). Still cute though.

Lovely, lovely japanese boys. Seriously, they're so charming! I mean, they don't have to be drunk to give you a compliment, they acctually notice when you've cut your hair, and they don't mind telling you that you look good (if you do). Since I'm a scary (blonde) foreigner, they're very shy, because they want to speak English to us, but they don't want to show how bad their English accutally is. They really want to impress us you see. And they are gentlemen, not kidding! They always open the door for you, and insist on you walking in defore them. Love them. Norwegian boys, you've got a lot to learn.

Japanese men on the other hand... They're scary and look like pedofiles. They way they stare at you, it's creepy. Most of they are nice though. It's just that all of them seem to have this school-girl-in-uniform fetish.
