Heading down the stairs towards the Hanzomon line at Shibuya, I hear a voice call “Excuse me?” and I turn.
“Are you, uh, Kristine?” asks a young man with short dark hair.
“Kristen. Yes, that’s me,” I reply, trying to place this stranger in my cast of characters…I run through all the faces I recall, but no match.
“I recognised you from your weblog.”
“Really? Freaky!! Wow.”
I am nothing if not utterly cool and collected with a huge vocabulary at my disposal when greeted unexpectedly by fans.
Ben, visiting from Gifu-ken, and his friend Yuki were charming and well-spoken. They brightened an already good day. I hope they enjoyed their evening out.
I wonder if other people recognise me from my weblog but don’t shout out. Have you ever seen me on the street and not said hello?
