So this past week we talked about relationships in Japan. We mainly discussed sex friends and how they are pretty common. My friends told me that it is more common to have a sex friend then to have one night stands...that they rairly occured in Japan, where sex buddys are little common. As I am queer, I have been to gay bars here and have gay friends. Most of the guys I have met in bars and such also have sex friends, but also have boyfriends. A few have also have talked me about random hook ups and the like. I think in the gay community that it is very easy for the guys to have one night stands and such. This really intrigues me because of how they have sex friends, and boyfriends at the same time...and a few are married. In america i would never say that the tipical american is faithful to thier spouse or that they dont have sex friends...americans just seem more secretive about it. I dont know very many gay guys in america but they dont seem as whorish...maybe its because i dont know very many or the fact that i live in a small town. Does the typical japanese couple have may affairs or is that rare? If a spouse catches the other cheating do they get divorced right away or do they put on a show for other people like the gay married men? Also another thing I was wondering about is older people getting into relationships and what not...it seems in america that people play around while they are younger and then get into a serious relationship in their late 20's or early 30's and beyond...what about in Japan is this the same? I have heard that if you are not married at a certain age you are like a lost dog....

New Semester!!!

So this week we are starting a new semester at KGU! I have 2 new classes and Im pretty excited about them. One is a Japanese culture class, I really want to learn more about religion and more of the artsy stuff, which this class covers so Im feeling pretty good about it. The other is Spanish. The teacher is really nice and he made sure me and Carly (she is taking spanish as well!) understood...but we only learned Buenos dias. (needs accent mark)...so I dont think i will learn anything in this class...but i can practice my japanese so all is well.
Again I am taking seminar 3...woot! Today we broke off into little groups and discussed our interests. I met 3 awesome guys shupei, hitoshi, and shoma<=dont know if these are spelled right! They all like soccer and our around my age. So two of them were 19 and one was 20. Hitoshi, shoma, and i talked about girls and the people we like, saddly the person i likedddd is in america and they just got into a relationship, so i didnt say much about them. They told me about the girls they liked and how sad it was because the girls didnt return thier affection... then we talked alittle about drugs. My friend in america recently started taking drugs...in america there is a bad stigma with drugs but if you smoke weed or do shrooms its not condidered that bad where in Japan, many people dont do drugs because its illigeal (this doesnt seem to stop americans). I would really like to discuss this matter more, does the government do anything to stop people besides make it illigeal, are there campains to deter people from starting what...I will for sure put some more about this on here later!
Once again sorry for spelling/grammar problems.

Peace out,
Bill

City: sb

I personally have always been interested in mythology and legends and stuff like...so i know somethings about roman and greek mythology and was wondering about japanese myths and stuff...hopfully we can discuss this in class. i read a few such as the one about the sun hiding behind a rock and what the other gods throwing a party to lure her out. So i was hoping to discuss about how these myphs shape peoples belives, superstions, and the general impact on japanese culture.

gay bar and hospitol.

So I was very excited my friend Faisal...who i love right now...in a coplicated way gave me this link that told me about gay bars in kumamoto city...because a search on google or any of the other sites i went too...say there wernt any. This was the first gay bar i went to...so pretty excited. It was awkward when i first got there...me and my friend geogirina...who has alot of gay friends and such went with me. Yeah i felt bad for opening the door...and just standing there...it was a very small bar, so i ordered a beer....one beer, when we decided to go, i asked for the bill 3000 yen....i was like are you fucking kidding me...thats like $32 dollors for a bottle of beer...wtf!!! that mad me upset. so i went and got my bike to go home and my foot got cut and i ended up slicing my toe open...it looked pretty bad, but i was like maybe it will be ok. i cross the street and my shoe was full of blood...so i was like this is not good. we decided to stop at a convince store...blood every where...i have a pic but im not putting it up cause yeah. so i was like maybe i need stiches i think i will go to the hospitol...so i badaged it up...after bleeding through 3 or 4 papertowels. We found out how to get there, went filled out alot of paper work ...well georgina filled it out cause my japanese sucks. then the doctor looked at it...decided i didnt need stiches...put a badage on it...big badage and what not and told me to come back tomorrow. i was like ok. go to pay, after the insurence thing which is supposed to cover 70% i paid 4900 yen...which is 5o something U.S. dollors....for a badage...are you kidding me...i felt ripped off hardcore...stupid bike. so yeah i got ripped off alot tonight. also i think that someone should make a system for hospitols that allow a patent to fill out all that hard paperwork in thier own language and tell the hospitol the equivalent in whatever language the people at the hospitol use as to help provide health care... i know i should be able to speak more japanese considering i live here now...and i will get better but sometimes people just can understand because in hospitols its different termanoligy not used on a regular baises...so if some could make a computer program to do this that would be awesome...its not like the patient isnt going to be in thier system anyways...also tells them what they need to do to take care of themselves....and to prevent fraud make sure that the system has to get some hardcore copies of thier id's and insurence card....yep sorry for the spelling problems...its been a night i dont really care.

Lady Heroine

So, it's sunday, nothing really going on here. I just watched a tv episode of trading spouses.
That was beyond interesting. It was about a christian lady switching places with a lady thats more new age. The show was pretty interesting the christian lady was very loud and very my way or the high way. During the switch, she was head strong which was expected...southern women seem to have that charateristic. Later though when she got home, she flipped out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3mDLsyn6ns <---link. that really scares me. Im queer does that mean im dark-sided? I know that is not what she was refering to but i cant help but think that. The fact that someone could hate you because your slightly different is so retarded, she didnt even respect thier view points. Ingurance is bliss, it seems so wrong though the other lady was so nice. Thats how i slightly feel about christianity...its so crazy so igroent to other people and whats going on in thier lives. I dont think christians are bad. my mom is extreme christian in fact she reminded me alot of the lady on the show, though she knows about witchcraft and things....though i think thats only because my sister belives in it. That lady i would never tell her I am queer. I think she would flip out on me hardcore like majorly flip the F out. My mom didnt, she doest think i am and after i told her she told me she loved me. there are some examples of good christians the ones that seem like they truly care...are good people like Jenn. she is amazing good people. Yet thier the ones that dont end up on tv. Thier the ones that end last...that makes me mad they deserve better...even if my mom thinks im bisexual because i think its cool instead of accually being attracked to men and women.......i think that people can really be evil when they are ignorent...they let thier ideas consume them and then they try to push it to the limit...they need to make sure everyone shares it even if its not right for them...i like boys someone telling me im going to hell wont change that...some ideas are like lady heroine they get in your system and lift you higher taking you to places you've never been, so caught up in your day dream, you dont see the world crashing in apon you, trapping you in simple mindedness.

Drinks,

\hi, my name is William. I currently live in Montana, yay! So yeah I am going to Kumamoto Gakuen University, which is fun, thus far. I am required to keep a blog for a class im taking. I dont really know what I want to talk about at this current moment. I will give all yall out there in the internet world the load down of all my many adventures here in Kumamoto City. I plan to talk about all my extremely random thoughts and my views on everything, from being a forginer in Japan to where ever my noggin takes me. I want to have a disclaimer, I can not spell well, and I am not very skilled at writing gramaticly. Good luck. I hope the mistakes dont persuade you to stop reading my blog. I will put all my thoughts in Japanese on here as well, in the future, when i am more awake. I went to bed around 4 am last night so, feeling kinda cranky...and I need to learn Kanji...hardcore.
