We went and made our gomenasai payment to the moped driver that was hurt in the accident. Gomenasai means sorry in Japanese. I have been pissed off and crazy this week that we had to do this. I had this picture of this guy in my head that he was going to be some hateful American hating Japanese guy. Well it turns out he is 19 and married. He was very quiet and seems nice. His wife understands English but was afraid to speak English to us. We had an interpreter from the legal office with us too. His injuries were barely visible. He has a few small scars on his face and his knee is still wrapped up. I expected his face to be all mangled. Luckily he is going to be OK. So now since we did this, when we go to "court" and they ask him if we showed remorse for the accident he can say yes. So who knows what will happen.
So I am calm and not bitter or crazy at the moment. I still can't wait til I can leave here though.

How much longer do you have there?
2 years. I need your email address.
You are a bigger person than me. I would have a really hard time showing remorse for something that wasn't my fault in the first place...
If we weren't trying to save for a house, we'd come to Japan for our "honeymoon".
Sorry, to hear about your accident. Chalk it up to one more reason to love Oki.(ha ha) I know how much you hate it there. I guessed entomologist,am I right? Sammantha the bug collector.
Our cultures are so different...that sucks! I miss you guys. I wish you were here so you could buy the house in front of us with the pool (and we miss you). Tince
