A 'wrinkley' in a young world !

hi all
this was my first effort, a contribution to a very interesting blog that i spotted. the subject was 'racial discrimination in Japan'.

"i will soon be travelling to japan osaka and do not expect to receive undue attention from people. my experience is that it is unlikely in any large city anywhere in the world exept possibly china where the interest can be overwhelming, especially if you stop to talk to someone in the street; then you are likely to have a crowd around you in a very short time; usually friendly, sometime over-enthusiastic, but can be an enjoyable encounter.
cheers teijin"

hope i've caught the attention of citizens of Osaka who might be willing to tell me about their fair city as an introduction to help me fit in cumfortably and enjoy my forthcoming visit.

cheers teijin

thank you Yume
i'm sure you are going to do well in your first job !
do you have any e-pals in Osaka or anywhere in Japan, i've yet to receive any contacts except yourown.
i'm sure they'll come later; this is the wrong time of day for Japan.
all the very-very best

hi Mike
thanks for the greeting !
on my only visit to your part of the U.S. i found myself caught in a oneway trap in the middle of washington. found out later that i had arrived just after a presidential parade and the diversions hadn't been removed.
couldn't wait to get to texas and wide open roads and my daughter and her family.
cheers teijin
