Foreigner Status
In Japan I am considered a "Gaijin" or "foreigner." I do not fit into society but I am for the most part accepted here, and with that comes a certain type of celebrity.
I look different, talk another language and of course come from another country. Many young Japanese people want to hang out with "Gaijins" and will go out of their way to help you.
They seem to adore you, and you can't help but feel "loved."
Okay so I sound really cheesy but it's true.
It's like you get a foreigner status here, just because you are different.
That's why men have it so easy when they come to Japan.
In my opinion, Japanese women adore all foreigner men, even if they have no personality. Back in their home country no women would take a second glance at them, but here they are like "Gods" and subsequently acquire a macho type attitude. Which is no wonder why men tend to stay longer in Japan.. and some even stay here permanently.
I feel as though I am rambling so I will get to the point.
Basically I will miss the attention.. cause when I am back home on Monday I will just be a face in the crowd again.
I will not get the giggly "hello" from high school kids who just want to speak English.
Ahh okay I am getting so frigging emotional..... I have had an awesome time here and I will miss so many things.
However a new life awaits me!!
Ciao Nagasaki.. Ich werde Dich vermissen.
