A number of people told me that Tokyo was a scary place to live. I wanted to be tough and strong. So, I started practicing martial arts with Tonfa batons at a nearby park. One day, someone reported to the police, “There’s a person brandishing dangerous weapons at a park!” Of course, I was the one practicing dangerous batons at the park LOL The police came over to me and said, “What in the world are you doing here!?” At that time, I was a stupid kid. I should have been honest with the police and told them that I was simply practicing martial arts with Tonfa batons. But I wanted to look really cool. So, I said to the police what I thought was a cool thing to say, like, “If you are a man, you’d want to be tough and strong, huh?,” and started shadow-boxing with Tonfa in front of them. I thought I looked cool acting like that, but the police took me to their station and started grilling me LOL They made me write, “I will never brandish Tonfa at a public park again,” and sign the form LOL

So, I started living in Tokyo. I wanted to do exercise but the police asked me not to practice martial arts with Tonfa at a public park. So, I started jogging. I was always naked from the waist up when I was jogging. I jogged on the streets around some buildings, and it turns out that those buildings and the land surrounding them were a government property, namely, the Ministry of Defense! I didn’t know it LOL One day, security people approached this person jogging naked from the waist up, which was me LOL Did I look suspicious being half-naked? Once again, I wanted to look cool and I said something I thought was a cool thing to say (I hadn’t learned a thing from the Tonfa episode LOL), and again, the security people took me to the same nearby police station LOL
Episode 3 (Fresh out of high school, not long after the above two episodes)

One day, I wanted to grill fish over a charcoal fire. I lived in a small room in an apartment building, facing a famous busy street in the middle of Tokyo. I couldn’t do a charcoal grill in such a small room with windows closed. Carbon monoxide would fill up the room and it would be dangerous! So, I opened wide the window facing that busy street. At that time, there was a girl I liked very much and she was also in the room. I wanted to look really cool in front of her. So, I tried to be cool, opening the window wide, grilling fish over a charcoal fire, chatting with her happily and all.
Suddenly, there were sirens coming from a street. I recognized that those were firefighters’ sirens. I was, like, “A fire? Somewhere nearby? Man, that’d be terrible.” Charcoal was set up on the balcony right next to the window, letting out smokes. So, I was unable to look down at the street to find that many people had gathered outside this apartment building, looking up, nervously observing a large pile of smokes ascending from my room. I was unaware of that. Suddenly, someone started knocking on the front door of my room, really loudly! It was very loud! The girl I liked very much opened the door, and there he was, a firefighter! He was holding a big hose, this really big hose, shouting at me, “What are you doing over there!?”
A policeman at the police station I had been taken to twice before, who remembered me, was really angry, like, “You again! You! Your third time! I tell you what, this is Tokyo! You can’t do these things here!”
So, I learned, “I can’t do these things in Tokyo” LOL
