I've always had a pretty strong need for both private space and private time, both of which are as you know at a premium in Japan (the former especially). If one thing about living here ratchets up my stress level, it's the near-omnipresent feeling that strangers are too close.
Interestingly, though, Kat never trips my proximity freak-out sensors (some past partners have), even though we live in an itty-bitty apartment that definitely isn't big enough for two, unless they really, really like each other. Clearly, we must, since no one's been killed yet.
