"Since everybody is in scanty clothing in hot summer in Japan, molesters increase rapidly in this season. In order to protect yourself from molests... avoid wearing bare fashion of provocative clothes; do not hand out your underwear at prominent areas; do not walk around by yourself at night as much as possible."
"If you encounter a molestor... shout loudly and inform people around you."
Dangerous drugs (liquid, herb, and powder)
After the police lecture, we also had to do an 'orientation' at our dormitory which outlined quite a lot of useful points such as the rules, duties, how to pay rent, etc. However almost all of it wasn't exactly useful to us as we've already been here for about a month now and have learned from the other students the ways of the dorm. As it was also the final night in Kofu for another student, we went out afterwards into the bustling Kofu nightlife.
The following evening, myself and two friends went to an izakaya for our dinner and to relax and reflect upon the week. This plan was comprimised, however, by an incredibly drunk Japanese man who was already there. The first thing he said to me after I had asked for a drink was "I thought you were a boy!! She's a girl!!!" or something to that effect. This was a running theme throughout the evening as he seemed to be so drunk that he kept forgetting what he had already said/done. He served me and my friend some of his shochu (a very strong, disgusting alcholic drink) which I tried to drink faily quickly so that I could order my own drink but about 20 minutes after serving us he forgot and poured us another glass each. Other that repeating about how he thought I was a boy and how much I remind him of his grandson, he revealed that he was apparently 80 years old and coming to an event at the dormitory we live in as he lives so close by and comes every year. We're all looking forward to seeing you again, Mr Ishihara.
