Strange Japan And Japanese 1-2 Caring Stalker I was starting washing my face. It passed a little moment. She finished to dry her hair and asked me again. “Are you OK?” I think I might get angry but I don’t have to behave like that. It is very bad manner in Japan. I had to stop washing my face and smiling with bubble on my face. I am very ashamed to be seen this face by her but I said “I am fine, Take care.” She was out of the room. I was relaxed so much but she was back again. “Difinitly, Are you OK?” It was not easy for me to stop shout and yelling. It gave me too much stress . However, it was hospital and she is sick now. I thought I didn’t have to give a shock for her. However, I thought “You are so strange. Back off stalker.”. I swallowed this words and said again “I am OK.” with smiling. I knew it was the end of her asking, probably. I suppose it is natural that I had a washstands room phobia. Next day, I was walking on a passageway without white cane in a hospital because I thought every one in this floor knew that I cannot see at that time. And I wanted to show them that I didn’t have any problems. I am totally OK. Then, I heard a voice of a women in front of me. “are you OK?”

Strange Japan And Japanese 1 Caring Stalker I am totally blind and I am Japanese. I am a student and studying acupuncture to be an Acupuncturist in Tokyo. One of my dream is leaving Japan and working abroad. However, I am taking a leave of absent school because of bad health for a year. I am back to my home town Sapporo it is snowy city. It is the the fifth biggest city in Japan and it has almost 2 millions population. I know many people like my country and interested in our culture, food, tradition. And Japanese products are very popular around the word than we thought. I think I can be proud of myself to be born as a Japanese. However, I find many bad custom, behavior, thought in here especially I have a view of globally and an aspect from visually challenged. Then, I’d like to write about my experiences and idea as a Japanese visually challenged. I’ve stayed in Australia for a year and I have many penpals around the world. I think I have global aspect than common Japanese people. The day before yesterday, I stayed in a hospital only 1 day to take health exams. I stayed single room but I had to use share rest room, shower room and washstands room. It is very strange for western people but There is a room only for washstands in Japan. I went to the washstands room to wash my face and brush my teeth. I bring white cane even if I can walk because many people cannot understand that I can not see. When I entered the room, a woman was drying her hair. And asked me “Are you OK?” I don’t like this asking because I am not sick. However, it is the same as ” May I help you?”. Then, I have to reply like that. “I am OK. No thank you.” with smiling. But she asked me again, “Are you sure? Are you OK?”. I think it is very rude question and ignore my choice but I have to smile and replied again “No problem. Please focus on your work.”
