My hump
Tomorrow is my last day of school, I’ve survived almost all my final exams. Only one exam left in Japanese. Tonight there is a Christmas party in our dorm but I have to study so I’ll just stay there for a short while. I also have to prepare some things before my mother gets here. We are going to stay in a “weekly mansion”, a kind of apartment that you can rent for a shorter period of time. I think this might be one of the last times I write under my winter vacation because I won’t have the internet at the weekly mansion. I’ll write, but I’ll probably publish it later.
Today I was told that they’re probably going to take my tutor away from me! Noooo, I cried. But they didn’t seem to listen to me. I hope that they forget about it under the winter vacation. Many people are complaining about our Japanese classes, saying they’re not good. But I think that the classes are quite good. I think that the people complaining might just not want to study very much. If we didn’t have tests all the time I don’t think I would study as hard. And to learn a language you have to study very hard.
Today at the gym something quite awful happened to me. Thank god for Pia, she really has my back! I was walking on the walking machine and listening to music. Then I see Pia talking to this guy that was standing behind me. I see him leave and she calls my name so I take out my earphones. Pia tells me that the guy had been filming my behind and taking pictures of it! What! I run after him but he has already entered the males locker room. So I go and report the incident to the staff at the gym and when he comes out they catch him. But of course he has already deleted the pictures/movies and they can’t do anything more than taking his name and telephone number. The staff tells me that they’re sorry but that the only thing they can do is to keep an eye on him since the guy claims that Pia and I are lying. I just hope that he wasn’t smart enough to send the pictures to his mail before he deleted them. This is not something that only happens in Japan, it happens everywhere. Even in Sweden that is supposed to be the most equal country, between the sexes, in the world. People putting cameras in the toilet and taking pictures of girls on the beach etc. I’m already scared at night, trying not to walk alone on the streets. I don’t take a cab by myself and try not to smile at strangers. Now, can’t I even go to the gym?

Bli inte för rädd nu.
Tokyo är ju en av världens säkraste städer. Betydligt större risk att råka ut för något här hemma i Stockholm.
Du har rätt. Men du vet att jag är rätt orädd av mig! God Jul och Gott nytt år! Hoppas du får en massa mat och godis!
Wow! That's a pretty bold move by the guy taking the pictures. I can't beleive it! Have you been scouring the internet for pictures of your "hump"? j/k Anyways, I just wanted to say hello and I hope you had an excellent Christmas! I hope you have an excellent New Years too! Be safe! Talk soon,
Chi
