Right now I am so terribly bored.

I can't believe this is really happening. Leon is... here. I'm not dreaming this.

I never thought this would happen again.

I keep having terribly strange dreams about China. In one of them I'm back in Hong Kong with Grandfather and he tries to marry me off to billionaire friend of his. In other I was in the woods, running from... somebody. When he caught me we... *sigh*

Perhaps I've been working too hard. I think I'll go to the park this weekend and take a break. It's always so refreshing to be out in the springtime. The sounds of the birds returning and the sight of the leaves coming back to the trees... I think I need it.

That young Ms. Yuffie still hasn't come by to pick out a fish. I'm a little disappointed--I found her company refreshing.

Today was a very good day. I closed the shop down for the day and slept in. After feeding the animals I decided lunch in the park would be nice and met a very interesting young woman. It was nice to have conversation. It's been a while since I've had anybody here to talk to. I'm glad for the opportunity to socialize with such a nice girl. Yuffie was wonderful company.

I think... maybe I'm starting to get over him. Maybe a little. I've never been this busy with work before and on my days off there are so many other things for me to think about that I just don't.

It hurts a little, that I've stopped thinking about it all the time but... perhaps this is for the best. For us both.

Valentine's Day was very good for business this week. Unfortunately, I'm exhausted from all the customers we had. I believe I'll close early and take a walk through the park. I need a break from humans for awhile, and some peace and quiet away from the shop. I'll bring tea with me and sit and watch the stars.

I've been very busy with the shop. There are a lot of regular customers.

Chinese New Year is going to be very busy, but I'd rather it was quiet and peaceful. Perhaps I'll close for the day so I can enjoy the festivities and celebrate it properly. That wasn't possible in America. Though I miss it, just a little.

(ooc: Should warn you guys. Behind the cut are spoilers for books 9 and 10 of the first Pet Shop of Horrors series with an altered ending! and for the first couple books of the new series, Pet Shop of Horrors: Tokyo. Sure. Change the name, you American bastards. ...We totally need a Taizu. XD

The first couple days have gone well. Not too slow, not too busy. And some wonderful people have been bringing gifts of the finest assortment of sweets to welcome me. ♥ What a nice area.

Well, I've been living in this ...city for a couple of weeks now. I suppose it's high time that I opened up my shop. I love this Chinatown so much, and it's so very close to the park! There are even trees here, unlike the last few places I stayed! I'm across the street from the most fantastic bakery ever. They make the most delicious food I've ever had in my life!

I'll be opening tomorrow after lunch I think. The animals all seem to be settled in. ♥

This should be... interesting. The music ban in this city is of particular interest to me. I can't understand why they'd do such a thing, but I suppose it's up to the government.

Humans have such strange ways of making rules.

To welcome me to the area, the lady next door just brought me a box of delicious looking truffles! I believe I'll make some tea and try them. They certainly look wonderful! ^_^

I can't wait to get out and meet more people. After all, they can't be more awful than the Americans were. I'm glad to be rid of that country.
