Japanese can be so sweet and more on the GB squeeeing!

So, the other day, when I was doing some of the last of my moving from my Osaka place to my new Kyoto place, and I had (finally) made it to Omiya station (which is only a few minutes walk from my apartment, yay convenience!) Anyway, the INconvenient part of this station is a complete lack of elevator OR escalator, just good old stairs (and this weird special lift thing for handicap people). Anyway, I had my rolly suitcase packed rather full (mostly of manga *cough* wha?) and while the whole wheel thing is very nice most of the time, the extra weight is NOT so fun when one has to lug it up stairs.

Anyway, as I'm huffin and puffin my way up one step at a time, this cute random Japanese girl (well, I suppose lady is more the correct term seeing as she was like 30 or something, but still was using all the cutsie Japanese language and stuff so) anyway, she offers to help me. OMG so wonderful of her! Very tired, very grateful me! And then turns out she lives in the same direction as me, so we walked most of the way back together. Anyway, tonight, I'm standing waiting for the crossing signal just outside the station and this same chick is there, with a friend, and she's like "Hi! you're the one with the suitcase from the other night, right?" (all in Japanese, gal didn't speak a word of English). And she was all excited and explained the situation to her friend, meanwhile I'm thanking her profusely for the help the other day and we walked back together most of the way to my apartment again today. She was just so ADORABLE. And so excited to run into me again. Wonder if I'll see her again...Yay for happy, nice, helpful strangers. This kinda thing always helps to reaffirm my faith in humanity...

( And helping to reaffirm how cute and wonderful and GAY and in love BanGin are...(small spoilers for the current chapters) )
