Are there any women here today?
Today I had a student from Saudi Arabia! It was really interesting to see her writing notes in her textbook in Arabic instead of Japanese. It looks so elegant.
Meeting her made me realise how repressed women in Saudi Arabia are. I can only assume the same is true for other Arabian countries. She told me that she’s really excited to be in Japan, because now she has the opportunity to play sport. I recommended badminton. I wonder how long it will be before women get the vote in SA?
Her husband must be quite exceptional to have brought her to here.
I’m such a stupid gaijin to so many countries.
