Well today I almost got hit by a car! If that car had hit me it would have totally trashed my bike, and probably sent me flying. And this time it wasn't my fault at all. The lady driving the car decided she wanted to see what I looked like since she was driving behind me and couldn't really see my face. Now this is nothing new cars tend to drift towards me in a vain attempt to see what I look like since I'm a foreigner in a small town where the people don't see foreigners that often. But this lady went above and beyond she speed up really quickly passing me by about an inch. Her car was so close to me that my handle bars scratched her car. Once she heard the scratch she immediately try to pull over to see the scratch. Only problem with that maneuver was that I was still on the side of her car, she still tried the maneuver anyway luckily I have had cars drift towards me often enough that I can react very quickly and that is what I did I turned with her whilst accelerating rapidly. End result that lady's reckless curiousness caused her car to get messed up and I was unscathed!

So I am still torn here, about what I should do. I am trying to decide if I should just move to Tokyo, and hope for the best which seems to be the best route of getting a job in Tokyo. Since my friend Rory quit his job in Isesaki and then simply moved to Tokyo where he found a job in like 3 days! I have an offer for a position in Tokyo but it is only part time, but that would give me some income while I looked for something full time. On the one hand I am practically in Tokyo every weekend and traveling back and forth between Isesaki and Tokyo is tiring. But I have some really cool friends here in Isesaki and I would hate to leave them behind, but lately I don't even see them that much anymore because I am always in Tokyo. But also there is the fact that I don't think I will be here past March of next year, so I am also thinking why bother? I guess long story short I will be attempting to move to Tokyo.
