In the last 5 months I've...
- Found a one-bedroom apartment just outside the Yamanote Line (the 'circle line') and moved out of the luxurious-but-rather-sterile serviced apartment that I housed me for a month in the heart of Tokyo
- Got most of my furniture second hand - sofa and bed from craigslist, microwave and fridge from a recycle shop, coffee table from a colleague...but I'm still missing a dining table and a desk for my room, but I've resolved not to buy new furniture and stick to second hand 'cause the world doesn't need new furniture
- Flown quite a bit...London x 2, Helsinki x 2, Hong Kong x 3, Vancouver, New York, Munich, Okinawa
- Had 6 visitors stay with me
- Joined 2 badminton circles
- Flown only once in economy class
- Gone hiking twice outside of Tokyo
- Gone to one (massive) music festival (Fuji Rock!) (but only for one day) and saw The Vaccines, Owl City, and FOO FIGHTERS with Dave Grohl rocking out while sitting on a "throne" made of guitar necks and his leg in a cast
- Eaten Timbits for the first time
- Killed a plant
- Found a church
- Petted owls
- Learned (and still learning) a lot at work, and still trying to find a rhythm in my week and daily routine
- Gotten sick once
I might elaborate on some of those points in future blog posts when/if I have time or remember that I actually have a blog. Meanwhile, instagram has kind of taken over as my photo-blog...sadly.
