hey...

just saw something kinda troubling.. rather troubling...

Basically: a woman seriously seriously 'wasted' or in trouble somehow... arm in arm with another woman in the street. Barely barely walking. Most of the last half-hour spent on the street corner... a rather busy street.. on the ground.

But what was troubling ? Apart from that situation itself of the woman's situation... I think I saw 3 strangers (men) and I basically have no idea what they were doing to her, and her sober friend. They were fanning them right up close, they were smiling (why ...I don't know...smiling non-stop), they were just , you know, 'hovering'.

So,.... 2 men left after some minutes.. (well, 1 man went to the AM/PM and got himself a sports drink and nothing for the women)... anyway and 1 man stayed and eventually helped the sober woman and the 'woman in trouble' across the street into a taxi.

What I don't know is: were the men helping the woman or harrassing her? I really can't say one way or the other, but if they were harrassing her.. next time anything like that happens, I'll know to act differently

No telling, but maybe a little bit of both.

I drove past a girl standing on the street completely topless. I have often wondered what was going on there.

Also, in North Kobe I saw an animal that I don't know what it was. I thought it was a fox but seemed too big to be one. I don't think it was a dog-wasn't a wolf. Maybe a huge fox.

another from the 'What was I seeing' file?

Wink

...what is the deal with this.

I am sitting outside a train station. Quite a lot of people around, listening to a few buskers. Nice atmosphere.

Just near me (in fact a the next person a few feet away), also standing, by herself is a nice looking girl.

In the space of 15 minutes, about 7 guys come up to her and talk to her, and ask her s###.. god knows what. They all walk away.

What the f### is that? Wink

alright. thanks. what do you mean 'on the make' Wink

?

I spose I thought it was that. But is it a rude thing? is it seen as a problem by anyone, is it offensive, what is it....

What the f### is with these 'dudes'. Are they f####n crazy? Should I go and tell them to please watch their manners and try not to be habitual harrassers

i saw 2 guys at once talking to her as well. A little intimidating maybe.

Also, as we all know, plenty of women do get followed,.. like late at night, like in the smaller streets

-----------
If it's OK for them to do it... maybe maybe maybe one day , who knows, IF it looks suss, I might tell the guy something. If it's OK for the guy to do that...............

another thing I saw the other night in a main street around midnight was:

1 girl was riding a bike with her friend standing on the bike.

2 drunk salarymen were walking towards them on the narrow section of street.

1 of the salarymen suddenly jumped out at the girls and screamed as they passed near, and scared the living daylights out of them
