Sometimes, Doing Things is Kowai (Scary)

Everything is a little bit terrifying over here. I had some errands to run today, and I knew that in order to get to the big Target-like store (which is like 45 minutes away – everything is far away here – but the drives don’t feel long – they’re very scenic) I would need to buy gas. I prepared myself. I was all ready to say “man-tan kudasai” (full tank please), when I saw the attendent, but when I drove up, he started asking me questions or something. I ended up getting my tank of gas, but the experience was a bit more frightening than it would have been in the States. I guess I’m better for it.
