Also yes, your family sounds like you would’ve gotten some *looks* in Japan. Especially back when international travel wasn’t as common/accessible or if you weren’t in a big city. In middle and high school, one of my friends had long blonde hair down to her waist and it wasn’t uncommon for older Japanese women to come up to her wanting to touch it. Sometimes they’d do so without permission. I guess one of my cousins was asked for photos in China and she thinks it’s because she’s fair with dark hair but not Asian.
I just had yet another interview and I have a very positive impression of the interviewers, one of whom would be the supervisor to the role. I don’t want to get my hopes up — it’s another role that’s open in about large U.S. cities — but I felt it went well. I won’t know if I move forward to the next round until after July 4. Fingers crossed!
ETA: I’m also really excited to buy sunscreen in Japan. Like yeah, sure, there’s a family owned pearl jeweler whose small store I cannot wait to visit, but access to sunscreens with better filters is also exciting to me.
