about Sunday...


Every Sunday I am paid to supervise an English conversation class for 2 hours. The class is made up of adult professionals, and they each prepare a topic to present in english every week. My job is to listen, correct and ask questions in english.
After the class, we have coffee and biscuits in the lobby and everyone can relax and chat in Japanese.
Last Sunday, drinking coffee in the lobby, I noticed a dodgy looking Japanese guy walking around, and he kept looking at me. It looked like he hadn't shaved in 3 months!
I had a really bad feeling about him.
I stayed close with my group, and we all walked out together. This guy followed us, he was really close to me and I could feel him looking at me.
When we were outside, I put my group between him and me, and after a while he went back inside. Then I got on my bicycle and got out of there. I kept looking over my shoulder to make sure he didn't follow me, and I went home.
I got back to my room and started getting some homework done.... then after about 10 mins, there was a knock on my door.
It was that guy!!
He told me that someone at the place I work had told him where I live, and he was hoping that he could practice english with me. (I was a bit scared actually, but I know kung-fu!! :p )
He asked me a heap of questions in english (his english is pretty good). And he told me that he's just about to graduate from a medical degree and he will become a GP.
Before he left he asked if I have many boyfriends...... I said "no, just one... and I love him very much"......
Weird.
