An offhand letter (It is the rainy season in Nagasaki, too)

The rainy season has started in Nagasaki, and it has become hot, humid, and sticky. In the hospital, the air conditioner is runner full blast and the patients often complain, "the hallway is so cold!"

Recently, for the sake of my health, I have been exercising with a few of my co-workers at the gym once a week. It has become a custom that, after work, we eat before working out, work out, and go to eat yakiniku! In terms of calories, this is a plus. However, it is really fun and makes me happy.

I am often told by people in other departments that I am lucky to be in radiology. Every day I think that I am lucky to have come to the radiology department in this hospital. Outside of work, people take me to do things like go out and have fun or to parties at their houses. If I can’t do my job and get worked up about it, they stay until late at night and coach me aggresively. I am trained intensely until I can do it. I become the patient and they take many x-rays of me. They just bombard me over and over. (Regarding being bombarded, there is no danger of radiation build-up.) They also throw me encouragement parties. Continue reading

I enjoyed English conversation for the first time in a while.

Today, I had the pleasure of having English conversation for the first time in a while. My friend from elementary school was asked by a man from Australia to teach him Japanese, so they went to dinner together and I was invited along. I talked with that person about various things. The goal was to teach Japanese and I like teaching, so it was very lively.

However, in the middle of that, I was asked, "Is the way that men and women speak different?" When I answered, "It’s a little different," he seemed uncomfortable and said, "If I learn Japanese from you, wouldn’t I come to speak in a feminine way." I hadn’t thought to be worried about that, so I was very surprised. However, when I thought about it, I thought that it is something to be worried about. Continue reading

I can talk about it now.

This is about something that happened a long time ago, but now I can say something about it.

When I was a college student, I worked part-time at a book store. The shop was a family-run business. Moreover, the husband, who was the president, and the wife were very fond of me.

For a time, I was troubled by various things and a lot of stress had built up, and my dry skin got really bad. Even if I put on makeup, I couldn’t hide it. It only got worse, and that just added to my troubles. People I passed on the street and people I talked to would not look me in the eye but would look at my cheeks while talking to me. Even when we were having a conversation, they would not meet my eyes. The only thing they saw were my red cheeks. I became afraid to interact with people and didn’t want to meet anyone, and I couldn’t help but want to shut myself indoors. However, I had to go to school and to work. I couldn’t just shut myself away. One day I started talking about my skin to a woman who was looking at me at the bookstore’s cash register. Talking about it just tore apart my heart. I was working at the register so I couldn’t move from that spot and could only listen to her talk. For a long while, I couldn’t get away from her. Even though my job was to serve customers, I unconsciously started hanging my head. When I did that, a voice from far away said, "Miss Nakatani, can you come over here." At that time, I didn’t know if the president had noticed my situation and was calling me over or if he just had some other job for me. Continue reading

An incident on a Japanese toilet

This is a story that happened around when I started kindergarten (when I was four years old).

The toilet in my house was a Japanese-style toilet from which the waste was collected. Every day, wearing adult slippers, I would straddle the toilet hole which was too big for a child. However, ever since I could remember, toilets were like this, so it never occurred to me that it was dangerous.

One day, my foot slipped, and I fell into the toilet! I grabbed the edge of the toilet just in the nick of time and didn’t fall down the hole, but I couldn’t do anything beyond that. I was completely surprised and so scared, and I burst into tears. "Mommy! Mommy! Waaa, waaaa…" I desparately cried. I always cried when even one fly was in the bathroom and I would call for my mother to kill it, so my mother probably thought that this was the case and didn’t show her face. She said from the next room, "Don’t worry about a bug. Hurry up!" "It’s not that! It’s not a bug! Waaa!" Realizing that something was different this time, my mother came into the bathroom. As soon as she saw me, she panicked and grabbed me, saving me. At that moment, the slipper that I had been trying not to let fall fell down the hole. My mother was saying, "Are you okay?" I kept crying and yelled, "The slipper fell. Waaaa!" I was worried more about the slipper than I was about myself. Continue reading
