Day 65 - Black in Japan
When I got up this morning I felt as if I was catching a serious cold...Sorry to gross you out but I spat out some strange looking mucous and my head felt funny... And I have absolutely no plans to go to any doctor in Japan, Im sorry... I think this hot /cold whether is taking its toll. The days are very hot, nights and mornings are cold.
I went to the school that I always make a wrong turn at today...and guess what??? I made a wrong turn again :) but I realised it instantly and spin round the car same time... When ever I get to that intersection I just dont know where to turn...Is when mi turn now mi realise dat is a wrong turn... So now last week at this school I asked the vice principal and the teacher for the grade 4 and 5 (Joined classes) classes if I could video it this week.
So after work I went to soccer practise and this time my team did a little better...we only got
3 - 2...Isnt that remarkable from the 7-0 whopping on Tuesday??? Soccer is fun but bwooy my feet start to ache terribly now and this injury that mi have from mussy high school days start act up back again.
I started to read some articles about black people living in Japan...This is one of the links... Its a little long but interesting...The guy is from USA so that might be the only draw back, but he is black... http://www.blacktravels.com/japan.html
I remember this teacher that I just have this feeling that he doesnt really like me around, named one of the teams in a game with kids, "Mountain Gorilla" Then in the game he placed the name of some Japanese cities then USA ???? I am now wondering if he was being racist plus to top it off basically saying "Why didnt they get someone from the USA"... But maybe just maybe I am reading into this too much...
It really sucks to be somewhere and everybody looking at you like a damn animal to rhatid...What the hell is wrong with these people??? I am only happy that the schools I am at they at least try to treat me well even if its hypocritically... I think I feel the genuine care and love from some of the people and teachers, but others I am just watching dem...
Well people later....

They said "Yes man everything criss" (of course not their actual words) I wanted to video it because I think this class I have the most fun with and I want to show people what I do for a living now :) ... So today when the vice principal saw the cameras...she started looking on me funny and I see the Principal start looking at me weird and scratch him chin.... Then the vice principal ask me why I wanted to video the class...I said for memories to look back on...Then she asking me bout if its for my company and I said "NO its for me"... The place just started to feel tense and then I wanted to say "Just dont bother please, if it is going to be a problem" But I dont know how to say that to them to make them understand...
So I went to the class and the teacher video it for me and so far I dont hear my company call, ... So far so good... But I heard them call my name in a conversation and said ALT several times...I also heard them talking to the vice principal from my main school... Hmmm I am hoping for the best...
