everyone is looking for something... i would be glad to live in tokyo and not in bremen/germany... sometimes... but i'm sure, when i live in tokyo i would be home- sick....
Hmmmm... I dunno maybe the same reason NY'ers don't leave? Or any big city for that matter. I still love Tokyo though. I'm just a tourist though, I don't live there.
I don't mean LEARNING the language, I mean learning to be a Japanese girl in conversation. The average Japanese girl conversation only consists of a few phrases:
maji de.
doushite?
ehhhh?
chotto...
ii jan?
nanka
sou desu ne...
and a lot of agreeing. Now you are a good Japanese girl. go forth!

I'm back in tokyo and exhausted. My family in Korea is really well respected and in high positions... it's strange to think now that Nao used to get all high and mighty about his family when it turns out mine is doing far better.
Tokyo is going to be the biggest mindfuck ever.
And I've taken acid.
You will please teach me how to get from the airport to either:
a) your stop, and also how to call you on a pay phone (assuming they exist).
or
b) your flat.
When I arrived, I realized that the horrified lost feeling and angry Koreans... this is how davel and Michael will feel when they arrive in Tokyo. lost, unable to read anything, and confused.
But NRT is more foreigner friendly, I think. Less angry pushy people, more English, more easy to identify train lines and stuff... they'll be fine, I was just lucky... Read More
So yesterday and today have been uneventful. Working, eating, adjusting, Eric and I are getting alone better without the pressure of having to. he leaves in a couple days, as do I for Korea, but I'll be back.
i found that one of Dave's friends from the bay area knows the same people as I do - in that he is dating *ahem* being suckered... Read More
So, Eric, despite deciding to leave 50 different times and never doing it, has decided to stay until the day I leave for Korea. He's also said that he "won't wait" for me in California.
Yes.. this means that Eric and I are on splitting. We're on better terms now that this is settled, he's sad about it, I'm not 'sad' more than I'm... Read More
Well for what it's worth I feel I'll be going through a similiar situation very soon. But it's funny cause I'm okay with it. I guess the 'comfort' factor is what is going to take time to adjust to. It's so funny how things work like that.
are there any apartments in the ikebukuro station, because i'm thinking i'll just live in there and never leave it.
