Ahhh, my Japanese friend staying at my place is starting to be some sort of drag. He's a nice guy, but at times he acts rather oddly.

He came to visit this country just 'in transit', on his way to the neighboring country cause there're no direct flights between Japan and that place. Sometimes when we talk, he's not very deep in his questions, but some other times, he's so deep that it just bores me. Like at the restaurant or street stalls, he may stay chatting with the salesperson. I'm already done, I want to move on... but he's still asking from what time until what time does he work, how many days a week, etc.

Then sometimes he may not have much interest in something, like a particular restaurant, or a massage session... but if he happens to find out that it's people from the country he intended to visit, he suddenly becomes very interested when I'm more like 'If they're delivering, that's good enough for me, now I want to move on'.

The last three nights he spent elsewhere. He didn't come to sleep in my place. I didn't ask what he'd been up to. If he doesn't feel comfortable talking about his naughty adventures, there's no reason for me to press. But I highly suspect he must've met a girl from that country. The morning after the first night he didn't come to sleep, he said he'd been to a massage parlor, and met a girl, and then he went to spend the night at her place. Okay, one night stand I thought. But then a second night, and then a third night.

He was supposed to fly back to Japan today but hadn't found any tickets (I bet he didn't even try finding one). He did sleep in my place, but very early in the morning, before 7:00, he got a phone call. He started to talk with a very low voice in English asking the other person 'How do you feel' and stuff. Then he went outside 'to buy coffe', and didn't come back for an hour.

This is all really odd behavior from him. I don't mind any of that. But it does bother me to have him in my bedroom smoking. Sometimes he smokes so much that I can even smell the tabacco from the corridor behind closed doors. It's disgusting.

Anyway why don't I tell him he should smoke outside? Because I also smoke, but very very sporadically inside my bedroom. So if I myself smoke, how can I deny that to him? Like I said, I do that very seldom, he's more like a chain smoker.
