最後
This will probably be my last post from Japan because of internet and time, but I'll probably post the whole meaningful final post of this blog from Bizzama.
Culture Shock
My host mom recently got a fever and got pretty sick. I kept offering to help go to the hospital with her or buy her something at the store but she kept refusing, saying she was ok, and even got sort of annoyed I think.
I learned that health in Japan is totally different from in the US. Not like the technology available for the healthcare or anything, just the way it's communicated and who's allowed to know things. Even recently there was a case of a doctor not telling the patient he or she had a terminal disease. Thinking of bad health as a bother or as shameful is something to which I think I'll have a really hard time adjusting.
I finished up my culture journal for class today and wrote a few things at the end of it that have a bit of conclusion. I definitely haven't come close to learning even 1% of everything but what I have learned will be extremely valuable even if I somehow don't come back, and invaluable if I do.
奥さん。。i mean laptop
My laptop battery is completely dead and unrechargeable :( Poor baby. Someone told me you can rebuild it yourself for pretty cheap but I might also not want to accidentally spill battery acid on my eyes somehow so I might just buy one... for $169 :______________( ouch.
Gifts
I'm getting a lot of people a lot of cool (I hope) gifts for going away. Watch out!
Again, few pics. There are quite a few on the camera but I've been too lazy to mess with them lately. I stole a couple though, Me & Ry in the room, Me & Alicia in the eki
'Til next time =o
