Well ... somewhere in there. Tokyo is pretty dense. Melbourne is gonna feel weird and quiet I think ... xD
Michael is pretty comfy, but still kinda knackered.
We broke triple digits!!! Unfortunately I kind of didn't move at all on my hundredth day. My brain is struggling to process everything that's going on because it's all been moving so fast. So ... living in Tokyo is a bad choice haha. It's an awesome place though. Took a chill day in Kyoto and now I'm chilling here for a day - I got more time than Shannon and she doesn't seem to mind wandering around without me here and there, which is lucky. It also means I can use her laptop!
I've made the call, I'm just going to press on with these blogs and when things settle down, maybe I'll catch up on the stuff I didn't write about ... or heck, maybe you can just find out from me directly, huh?
Hanging out with Shannon's been pretty good for me, sometimes she just pulls out the notepad and draws her pictures n stuff ... guess I've picked on up her vibe or something cos I've finally started writing again, little bit by little bit ... just sort of sketchy plans so far but nobody's allowed to read them haha.
By the way, those of you who didn't know, I will be back home March 7th. This is a bit sooner than we all thought, but I'm satisfied with what I've accomplished out here, 100 days is pretty good actually, and I've discovered a few places I could have worked, hostel's take you in for free if you work a couple hours a day for a month, and made a few contacts through which I could have gotten proper jobs, so I know I could have done this. And I've met quite a few cool backpackers in the last couple of days who get up to some neat stuff too, from camping randomly around Japan and hitchhiking to riding their bikes all the way from France to Osaka, having stayed in a number of countries long enough to learn a bit of the language, I've gotten to hear all these cool stories. If I stayed ... well I'm sure my Japanese would improve an incredible amount. But it's possible to improve my Japanese back home, as well as other things.
Tokyo's a cool place btw. Having trouble finding a 'quiet moment' though, this hostel is cheap but it's packed. Sorry for not really giving too many details, especially of late. My mind hasn't been quiet enough recently, so I'm thinking now I've rested properly I should just take in as much as I can in these next couple weeks. Blogs may be really sporadic scarce or maybe completely non-existent until then. I'll just keep seeing stuff and doing stuff and take as much in as I can. In a little while, I'll process it all bit by bit and then I'll make a bit more sense ... But right now, =P
The red circle is Tokyo, the two big cities on the far left are Kyoto at the top and Osaka on the bottom
