When my sister was here, she stayed at the girls' international dorm, which is quite similar to mine in terms of space, washrooms, living with a roommate and people from all around the world. Obviously, just as Kaikan has its supervisors in case anything happens and to perform small chores, LKan also has its arsenal of staff. One of them, is called Hayashi (family name), and she was there when my sister stayed at the LKan.

Now ever since I've come to Japan, I have visited her many times, and she has always greeted me with a smile and snacks. She usually asks how I'm doing, tells me to sit in the lobby, and brings me something to eat that she purchased ahead of time. She even calls the Kaikan sometimes to see if I'm there and asks me to come over. She also contacted me by text once. Last time I went, we spoke for about an hour about her past and her husband, my sister, and me. It's quite interesting. I don't exactly understand 100% of what she tells me, but I can say that I understand most of it.

Now I went to see her again today. We have come to the point where she gives me her working schedule, so I know when to go. I don't always go see her, but when I do have the time, like today, I go over there, say hi and study in the LKan's lobby. She'll come and bring me something to eat, or give me money to buy something at the vending machine. She's always nice to me which is something I enjoy very much. Sometimes, I bring her a little present too.

Small note, but important nonetheless, without my sister living in the LKan and keeping a good relationship with Mrs. Hayashi, this could never happen. I wouldn't know her, so I have to say thank you to my sister for that.


Remember this sis?
