The feeling of lonely
Among my friends in Japan I am famous for getting the feeling lonely easily. Before I came to London, some of my friends worried that I might have a difficulty to dealing with that feeling in London. Yes I have!
When I have that feeling, I get angry with the whole world without reason and I can bite anything. (You should not come to close to me, because you could be bit.)
But it is not so terrible than I expected. I is OK.
Sometimes I could not find a person who can be my company here like I was in Japan but I can see how much my friends care about me through the e-mail and letters from them more than I was in Japan. And I develop the strategies for dealing with it. Now I manage to deal with it in a good way. Maybe I develop myself !!
When I feel the feeling of being lonely and miss my close friends in Japan, I read some newspaper such as “Financial time” and “the guardians”.
I do not know the reason but it makes me comfortable. I can forget myself and think about the English pensions or French youth employment problem.
Cooking with favourite music is also helpful. I can be so happy with it.

I know this is a really old blog, but I'm here in Japan and I really understand how you must have felt in London. I'm from America, but I spend all of my time alone because of my job. I work at an ekaiwa.. My students are the closet thing I have to friends. I do have a few friends here but I can't ever seen them because they have no time to see me. Tomorrow is my day off and I'm trying to decide what to do. Nothing seems fun alone. :(
