Night time walks. Savion Seife: Rasul

I just walked home in pitch black. It's overcast and the lamp light and various porch lights are all I had to go by. For good stretches I couldn't actually see my feet. I walked by large scary bushes and turned around dark corners and past alleyways. The dark is scary.

 But I wasn't at all scared. Nothing in this town gives itself as being unpredictable and I have never gotten a single hint that there might be something I should be careful or cautious about. When I walk around in this tiny town during the day the few people I see tend to be at least fifteen years older then me, at most possibly sixty years older and sporting hiking sticks (imagine lack luster ski poles) and rosy cheeks. The youngest people I have seen were a gaggle of kids heading off to middle school.

  And on the walk home I only saw one other person, a woman in her possible 40s walking straight down the middle of the road because not a single car was driving around.

  This town is tiny and it makes me feel really safe and cozy.



  When I would walk home late nights in Tokyo, surrounded by people or only surrounded by the sounds of people and their silhouettes on their curtains, I also felt safe. But still wary of my surroundings. At any moment I tried very hard to hear what was ahead and behind me even though I really didn't think anything could happen to me because Tokyo is literally one of the safest places for a young woman to walk around at night. Except maybe in Happurg. Let's instead say Tokyo is one of the safest cities. Actually I am sure that is the proper statistic to use. But you still hear stories about the crazy scary weird things that can happen to foreigners in Japan and how little they can do about it.

  Now if I were walking home in San Francisco I would only feel safe if I were in certain residential districts and knew where I was walking and how long it would take me to get there. If I knew my destination wasn't in an area I liked I would pay for a taxi. Or I would try to take the bus for the majority of the way (perhaps partially due to an unwillingness to conquer hills late at night. Or ever.)

  I like this little town I'm in.



  In other news hair update Savion Seife: Haarwaschseife Rasul http://www.savion.de/default/haarwaschseife-rasul.html

  I can not figure out what Rasul is, like, at all. But the soap is a pale brownish color and I think it is probably a powder, perhaps from some place like Morocco. My hair feels thicker and a little less smooth than the Sportler- und Reiseseife but that could be because I used a blowdryer today which I didn't use on the other soap. Will use it again tomorrow but I don't think it is my favorite. Though I did put my hair up in a loose bun and when I let it down I had badass curls, my hair never curls! It was a wonderful beautiful moment.

  Also I have a lot of hair. But it is very fine thin hair. But tons of it. So I bet if you had a different type of hair (oilier, dryer, thinner, thicker) it would react differently
