I now know why I’m sticking around
By sticking around, I mean working at the bar.
It’s because it’s a new experience. I want to be able to say that, “Hey, I used to bartend at this bar in Japan! It was such an experience.” It’s hard, yes. The pay is shit too. A 7-hour shift at the bar is the same amount I earn in 2 and a half hours — teaching English privately.
So why stick around?
For one thing, I like my co-workers. The two other bartenders with me are Japanese. One of them is 35 years old and she has two kids! Just last night, she showed me their picture and THEY WERE REALLY CUTE! Like you wouldn’t believe. She’s got a boy and a girl. I dunno why the hell she’s working at a place like that though. I imagine she works everyday! With shit pay. And I’m doing this cause I just felt like it — a whim, if you want to call it. I can just stop showing up for work and I don’t really care if I don’t get paid. I’ll just chalk it up to partying and experience. Partying because that’s what I sort of do anyway. Dance around to music while washing the glasses and mixing drinks. LOOOOOOOL.
Life’s cruel like that. I’m thankful.

I am glad you are doing it for pure fun. Maybe she is the older version of you?! Did you notice her swaying with you?
yeah, I think your whole experience in japan is just way great, except for somebody whom you shouldnt have gotten too comfortable with but well, I guess that is just that.

Hahahaha. I dunno. I don’t want her to be an older version of me. But I *do* want to look like that when I’m 35! She’s hot!
Yeah. I’m starting to forget about that now! Good riddance. I’m just glad that Alex is so understanding.

coolx! HAHA! Does she look like those girls on Japanese magazines? White face, anime eyes and big blond hair? HAHA!
Yeah, you have a nice boy

No no no. She doesn’t look at all like them! She wears thick make up, but not THAT thick! She has super long brown hair, though
The boy should get a girl that he deserves. Sigh :s
