The love letter<\/b>
I was heading into school on the train when a Japanese woman approached me and asked me to read out aloud a letter that someone had written to her. Her English was quite good, but the handwriting was very bad so she need help to read it. It turned out being a love letter including a poem twently lines long. It was quite a strange experience reading such a letter and trying to summarise the contents on a packed train.<\/p>\n
The t-shirt<\/b>
A Japanese man wearing a T-shirt with the writing {The toughest job in America is being a black woman{. Of course he was not black, not a woman and not in America.<\/p>\n
The escaped animal<\/b>
Seeing a strange four legged animal escape from Kyoto zoo and run down alongside a river with about ten zoo keepers in pursuit on bicycles and on foot
