*WHY?*

Why am I *$&%ing up at 8am on a National Holiday? Let me tell you why... it's because my neighbour upstairs decided that it's the perfect day to CLEAN with the help of her mum! I don't know how Japanese people do their apartment cleaning, but it shouldn't sound like a whole football team's doing marches across the floor.... so... I did something very NOT Japanese... I marched up and very KINDLY told her that it's alright to make some noise, but to not drag things across the floor and to walk a little more lightly across her apartment.
So despite the blood at boiling point, I thought I handled the situation fairly calmly. I'm REALLY tired but I can't go back to bed because they're now SCRUBBING the floor... It's fine though, I guess... This is the first time in 2 years.
Holy crap... I've already been in Japan for 2 years?~
