It has been more than month since I have first set foot in Tokyo. After attending a church, finding a job and just hanging around people, I realize that people here are much more fast pace than Toronto.
When I attended church, I joined a Small Group, after telling them my concerns, they all got to work to help me, not only did they pray but they have taken action to help...
When I first applied for a job, the company immediately wanted to see me the next business day. During the first five minutes of the interview, I was offered the position with a contract. I was very shocked and was stepping back because I didn't expect I would get an offer so soon. After speaking with a few friends, I learned that this is how Japan does things, if you are suitable, they will hire you immediately.
In Toronto, America and Hong Kong I am considered an average to fast eater... but in Tokyo, I am always the last one.
When you meet guys (to date) they immediately want to get things done, they would immediately want to see you at the next available time (if you talk to them in the morning, they would want to "date" you in the afternoon or night time). Or sometimes they will even attempt to get something "done" during the first date. (you can interpret "done" as 1. be in a relationship as boy/girl friend 2. having LOTS of body contact or 3. something which involves spending the night together in a love hotel or in one of our homes).
When I see an item for sale that I like (whether it be clothing, pair of shoes or something) and I take some time to think... before I know it... someone already bought them and it is sold out X.x.
It's quite interesting... as I learn to catch up as I sadly fall behind...
