Scream

This one was part of a series: Gaijin (Foreigner) Hinto #3:
What to do in case of a fire:

1. Run as fast as you can while hysterically screaming "Fire! Fire!"
2. Take the stairs down from your apartment. Elevators are a lousy place to die.
3. Go back up the stairs and get your ENGLISH-JAPANESE dictionary and scream 火 the Kanji symbol for fire which is pronounced "Ka". This will alert your neighbours who had no idea why the stupid gaijin was yelling "fire".
4. See #2 or #5
5. Now that you've gone back to your apartment, the flames could be higher... Jump for it. It's no big deal... Most of us live in a first floor hovel next to a busy street anyways. 
6. Rub your hands together and finally get warm. Who the heck knew that Japan was cold and actually had a winter?!

This particular attempt at helping out other gaijin, while slightly humourous, was based on fact, rather than fiction. There's a mistake here that will be discussed in the next blog entry that will show you just how stupid a gaijin I was.

Somewhere wondering how the fireman will find my apartment when the streets have no street signs,
