The sun shone hard through the bare window of Daniel's apartment, hitting just the right time of day for the glare to hit him square in the face. The foreigner slowly rose, groaning under his breath as he found his limbs to be racked with an almost omnipresent dull ache. It was as though the last week of sleeping on hard surfaces had built up in him, only to manifest the moment he got an actual bed.<br/><br/>He didn't have any classes today, and didn't own enough possessions to justify setting a day aside to "unpack", which left one very important thing. Daniel needed money.<br/><br/>Daniel rummaged through his meager backpack of possessions, withdrawing a paper map and a notepad, and once again cursing his lack of a home computer of any sort. Job-hunting and direction-finding were so much easier when an internet connection was within arm's reach, but he'd had to rely on internet cafes and public terminals since he was a child. Other things just always seemed to come first, and the several hundred dollars to get even a junk laptop was a king's ransom when one was living off a part-time job doing unskilled labor while going to school full time.<br/><br/>By the time he walked out the door, he had managed to write a few notes to himself on several key locations in the city, the names of several internet cafes in English and Kanji, and the address of the local community center. He'd heard something about a job fair being held today, and with his connection to the net severed, this was his best chance to make it to the next day with some cash in hand.
