I met some new people in the last two days.
Yesterday I went to Tokyu Square in nearby Hachioji to check out its international exchange corner. After reading some brochures I approached the reception lady. Apparently she's a close friend of the last Epson intern from Canada, Candy! Her name is Tsuneko. According to her, she acted like a mother to Candy. We chatted a bit, exchanged contacts, and then she left.
I lingered a bit and visited a volunteer club with a long name: Club of Children and Students Working Together for [a] Multicultural Society (CCS). I told them I wanted to join CCS. I was rejected because I'm working here and not studying here. Not all was bad however, as I met some people around my age who were volunteering there. Again, some new contacts, and this time I was first to leave.
Today I met two fellow gaijins on the stairs to my apartment. It seems easy to befriend other foreigners in Japan. I think it's because we share a lot of experiences here and are in similar situations, and voila - that's the important common ground.

I think I'll leave this spam post for the humour it provides.
Let's all go be human beings!
Mr. Anonymous,
I would like $1,000,000,000,000 USD on interest-free credit, which I promise to pay back whenever I want (never). Thanks.
Signed,
Your mom
So being "human" is to drive through liqour stores and get drunk so we can go home and watch pornography?
What a concept.
The guy should write a thesis on that, 'cause it goes against pretty much all philosophical and psychological views.
Funny anonymous spammers.
Hmmm...so Club of Children and Students Working Together for [a] Multicultural Society gets abbreviated to only CCS? Awww...what was that game name that ended up being joking abbreviated to MoO2BaA?
