HELP! A QUESTION FOR AN AGONY AUNT…

YOU KNOW YOU’RE A CUT LITTLE HEARTBREAKER

Now by all means, I repeat, I do not want to turn Musings of a Model (In Tokyo), actually that title is a bit long, maybe I will abbreviate it to M.O.A.M(I.T)

So, as I was saying I do not want to turn M.O.A.M (I.T) (Im sorry but that acronym is ridiculous) into an agony aunt questions page, but Auntie. MOAM(it) readers my friend has a dilemma, which I’m sure you can help answer for me!!

When I mean friend, I promise you it is not me, and to protect his identity I will give him a pseudonym… oh, I don’t know….. how about…Václav?!* okay it’s probably not the best name given that he is a model and photographer born in the mid-west of America in the late 1980’s but it is the first name that popped into my head and will do for now. 

A 24 hour fertile dating ground.

So, My friend Václav has fallen head over heels for a beautiful Japanese girl that works in our local AM/PM store- now if you are from England like I am an AM/PM is the Japanese and American equivalent to Iceland (the food store not the country for any non-U.K readers) in regards to their size and food selection, although unlike Iceland they are on every corner in Tokyo, open 24 hours-a-day as the name suggests, sell beauty drinks, watermelon bread and anime pornography magazines and do not - as far as I’m aware use Z-List, former Atomic Kitten and This Morning TV-as-an-apparent drunken mess guest Kerry Katona to promote THEIR stores.

Václav visits the store on multiple occasions throughout the day and night to search for his beau behind the Michael Jackson lighter filled counter or stacking a new batch of medical face masks and pre-packaged salary man white shirts and ties in the convenience aisle. 


My dear friend is now completely in love with “Foxy” ** the self-appointed name he has given her, it’s a self appointed name because our Japanese is as good as Foxy’s English. 
I know she doesn’t speak or understand English because I once asked her how much a bottle of Pocari Sweat was and the expression on her face was one of pure helplessness-it’s 150 yen if anyone wants me to buy them a bottle or two.

And this is the crux of the dilemma- How can my friend Václav ever land a date and possibly a future marriage with Foxy if they can’t speak more than five words of each other’s language? He’s leaving Japan very soon so there is no time for him to learn the language fluently enough to use a Japanese chat up line, especially my old favorite “your kimono would look great on my tatami floor?”

Answers on the back of a postcard please or if you can’t afford the stamps in the comment box below…

*My inspiration for the pseudonym came from one of my favorite reads
“Common Czech Names of the 15th and 16th Centuries
by Walraven van Nijmegen” buy a copy today!!

*There have been other “Foxy’s” these were called quite appropriately named Foxy 2 (a Japanese porn star) and Foxy 3 (I forget now!)
