The jiichan/baachan were my favorite part of living in Japan. I think the best encounter I had was while waiting for a tour bus on my own in Kyoto and something kept hitting me in the back of the head. It was raining and it turned out to be a baachan trying her darndest to get her umbrella up over my head (and I'm 5'2", so you can imagine how tiny she was.) She then bullied me under the umbrella and bullied me onto the bus, and proceeded to bully me by sitting by me protectively and seeing me off at my stop. Best ever.Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16203047092670213712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18717861.post-44093020635471650952011-01-17T13:42:30.498+09:002011-01-17T13:42:30.498+09:00GW - that sounds particularly fetching.

Don't blame her though, old folks tend to kick it in the winter so being nice and warm is probably a very good idea.selenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282410196704062270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18717861.post-43558508494713948142011-01-17T09:36:50.046+09:002011-01-17T09:36:50.046+09:00Hey WH, a takkyubin girl just came to the door!

When I didn't have enough cash for a COD, he shrugged and said, "Not like you're gonna run away, is it? I'll come back this afternoon or tomorrow." <br />Awesome to read something about the jiichan baachan that isn't a full-on complaint about them.
