I went to the bar to quit. I’ve been debating whether or not I should tough it out for two months since the contract clearly said that I should notify them two months in advance if I’m going to quit (which Mika says is illegal cause you can’t tell the employees to notify you two months in advance).

Steffi also worked for the same bar. She lasted 3 weeks until she quit. She didn’t get her money either so I didn’t really bother with it.

I told them that I’m not asking for the money (since I already know that they’re not going to give it to me anyway, might as well go down with pride) even though Mika says that I should since I worked there for 2 weeks and the contract I signed is most likely not going to hold when it came to the law. Or something. I dunno. I just don’t want a mess. It was 4 days.

Speaking of which. I got a new student today. We just talked in English for 2 and a half hours and after, he gave me 5,000 yen! It was my first time meeting with this Japanese. So technically, 500 yen for the first hour (trial lesson), and then 1,500 for the next succeeding ones.

I told him that he didn’t need to pay me that much but he told me that I don’t need to give him a discounted price cause he’s willing to pay. I kept saying thank you — I was so shocked! 5,000 yen for 2 and a half hours of “work” (which consisted of JUST having a conversation in English) is a lot!

As I’ve mentioned. The pay for part-time work here is 700-1000 yen an hour. Or something like that.

Whoopee!
