Day 25 / 25日間

Now watch me at the people dem work updating blog...wid di vice principal right beside mi...Now is this skill or madness?? But there is nothing to do at work now and I have already prepared for my other classes. Sooo

Ok today was another quietish day...woke up again at about 10:30am again then went to check my email at the normal slow computer, (haffi pay fi fast computer) place. So I think this is the first time in my life I haven't been to church for 5 Sundays consecutively...I read my Bible though...

The new ALT came to check her email as well...then afterward I showed her some pics from back in Jamaica as well as told her about some of our customs in Jamaica from my point of view... she actually did a Master of Arts in Education that cost approximately $2.8 million Jamaican dollars to complete...She said she had to take out a loan...... A sponsorship or scholarship ALONE going mek me do a degree like dat... 2.8 million?? yuh maddd...

My mom called me in the night telling me that this man that live on my road get mad again...Yes there is this man that live sort of in front of my house that get off every now and then... This time, my mom said, he was lying down in the gully with a glasses on and some time walking on the road naked...All of this took place for about a week before he was detained...My mom said they called the police down the road and they said they weren't trained to catch mad men (lol)..So they asked the police to shoot him in his foot so he could be quiet or something...and the police dem seh they weren't trained to shoot men in the leg either (I nearly dead wid laugh). I think they could have easily said that they were afraid of the man. My mom said, it was 6 men who had to come and tie him up and she said one of the time dem him escape and dem had to hold him back...

Here in Japan not even the police have gun...well let me say I never yet si one wid a gun... Where I am now...crime is relatively non-existent...Well I haven't heard of anything yet...I heard that there are some men around though that I think they call the yakuza or something of the sort...And they are equivalent to the mafia. They have many tattoos and the amount they have, determine what their rank is...So because of this...ANYBODY with a tattoo whether you are black, white, Indian or Chinese...You will not be allowed in their public spas or hot springs...If anyone has a tattoo and want to go in..they have to cover it with tape or something...even though the yakuza people are said to be only Japanese....

Anyway mi gone now before them report mi...
