04/22/2009: "Random screams in the night"


I was up at about 1am last night, studying Japanese before I went to bed. While reading through some passages, I heard some loud noises outside that sounded like kids playing. It's 1am, but I thought nothing of it. This is Japan.. I've seen children grocery shopping at midnight in Korea. I kept studying, but I kept hearing it, and the more I listened, the more it sounded like screaming. Someone screaming bloody murder, in fact. Even more to the point, it was a woman screaming "help me" (in Japanese).

So.. lessee. It's 1am, dark out, and there's a woman screaming "help me" down the street. This has all the makings of something bad, so I threw my glass door open and went running down the street in jogging shorts and a sweatshirt (no shoes.. didn't have time). Halfway there, I realized a cell phone would be a good idea, but.. eh, time's limited.

By the time I get there, I see a police car, a police officer standing around, and a woman being shoved into the back seat of the car. My guess is that she was drunk and being arrested and screaming. Thank god.. at least no one was being attacked or hurt. I really didn't want to have a fight a rapist off at 1am in the street with no shoes on.

Was it smart of me to go running out there? Maybe not. You never know what you'll encounter. Was it the right thing to do? That, I wholeheartedly have to say 'yes'. Even if it was the worst-case scenario.. I went out there to do something. If I woke up the next morning and heard a woman was raped or killed down the street.. that'd be hard to live with.

So anyway..! That's my exciting evening last night, while studying Japanese. I came to work early this morning for a health checkup at the high school only to be told "Could you come back tomorrow? Tomorrow would be better." Blah.. so now I'm here at the high school an hour early with nothing to do. And I get to wake up early tomorrow, too. Yay.

Other than that.. life's going all right. No real complaints. Have a new Japanese coworker joining and another leaving, so hopefully everything will go all right with that. Going to have lunch this weekend with the one who's leaving, so I need to find a nice restaurant and all that jazz.

BUT, to keep you entertained, I made a short video of my morning commute to the office yesterday morning, along with a tour of the office I never work at. But, technically, it's where my company is based, so.. yeah.

Enjoy the video, and have a good week! I'm gonna hope the week gets less exciting as it goes on..
