I noticed my japanese is a bit rusty, but i can manage to get around by myself pretty good.
Basically....
Its good to be back.
I dont know if its the sense of adventure of being alone with your backpack and a couple of bucks..
...if its being in a country so foreign that its still exotic, but familiar enoigh that you can get around and talk to people...
...if its the freedom of wandering the streets and aside from a few big plans like visiting Sky Tree, just being free and wander where things look interesting...
But i missed that.
Its strange how nostalgic just seeing the landscape from Narita aiort to Tokyo station was from the train window,i mean its just a bunch of rural-ish houses, some fields and a babmoo grove or two, right?
So here I am at a nice and cheap place near minamisenju station, planning to meet some friends during the week and weekend, but also just wander around and look at stuff.
Before heading to the academic trip in the Koreas.
Seems many of the ministers we were supposed ro meet will be tied up because of the situation with the DPRK, but we will meet more professors at various universities to compensate.
Looking forward to ot...
But first, its Japan time.
...I wonder what my kids are doing...
Id like to go back to Mikasa sometime...
