So, here's the thing about Japan:

It makes you feel extremely self-conscious, and at the same time glad to be different.

Seriously, got on the train just as all the schools let out. Everyone was wearing the same outfit: white shirt, black skirt/pants.

On the upside, though, we've made plans to go out of town in October! We're meeting up with friends of Lauren and Lynsey's. Great fun.

That's all I got right now, other than the fact that Nishikawa-sensei is the coolest teacher EVER, and Mellvile-sensei ranks a ridiculously close second.
