Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Treeee...

Yes! We got a Christmas tree! Yay hurray! They were selling some on base and I had a friend give me and the tree a ride home. There is no way I would be able to take that thing on the train…. Or the bus…. Or walk it aaalllll the way home. Soooo good news… I met with the internet people today and signed the paperwork. They will be coming out on Monday to set it up! Yay! I will finally have internet at home and then I can actually post pics and video! Oh the long awaited pictures! I think I will need to start taking more now… Another good piece of news is that our stuff will be getting here next week! That is if it arrives on time. Hopefully we will have it all by next Thursday! Hope so! Finally I will feel settled! Can’t wait! And Brian is underway again and he will also get back next week! Woohoo!

Funny story… the other day I was meeting Brian at the train station. He had just got off work and we were going to go explore. Well, right as I called him to say I was there, this Japanese man walks up to me and starts talking to me. I don’t know what he was saying, but it is very rare for them to approach you without you first saying something. Very rare. Not to mention that this guy was invading my space! He was saying something in Japanese and then he says, “English?” I said yes. But then he would just say a few words in English and some in Japanese. NONE of it made any sense at all. Not one bit. He had a creepy smile on his face and he pet me, and ugh! It was too much. I said “Arigato” and quickly walked away to find brian laughing wondering what was going on. I think he was complimenting me on my hair, but I have no idea. I really think “his cheese slid of his cracker”. Definitely not a full deck of cards in that stack. Had a few tools missing in the shed. A few ingredients short for Thanksgiving dinner…? Ok that’s enough. Anyway, that was definitely a first. Though I do get some stares, I have never had someone approach me like that. Creepy.
