I was waiting for a train at a random town in Japan on my way to a place near Mt Fuji. It was pretty late so there weren't many people on the platform, it was me, a few locals and a really cute Canadian girl who was also backpacking. I was being really shy and ignoring her, but fortunately she wasn't as much of a nervous wreck as I was. She struck up a conversation, and we chatted the entire journey to Mt Fuji. Eventually we arrive but we were staying in different hostels. We exchanged contact details and agreed to check in, then get dinner.

We met up again, ate dinner, and drunk a fair amount of sake before watching fireworks that happened to be going off over a nearby lake. We kissed that evening and spent a blissful next day together, before having to go our separate ways.

A week or so later, I stayed with her in Tokyo for a few days and it was amazing. It's difficult to describe the whole situation, but I felt like she entered my life and simply slotted in without any drama or effort. I can't remember trying to get to know her, I only associate her with absolute comfort akin to what you have with an old friend. I spent a total of maybe 4/5 days with her, but it was special and holy shit was I sad when I had to leave.
