I’m Alive
I’ve arrived intact to my new home in Kanazawa after suffering through 3 days of Tokyo orientation. The ordeal thus far has left me drained, yet I ‘m not having a hard time with things. On the contrary everything has been moving forward more smoothly then I had expected. I have my apartment, my phone, my Gaijin card. Monday I get my bike and in about a week I can get Internet in my apartment.
Shinjuku from the 47th floor of the Keio Hotel
To recap, Shinjuku (Tokyo) was massive and dirty. I met up with some friends but I was glad to leave. This should not be misconstrued: There was nothing inherently wrong with the city, its just not where I wanted to be.
And where do I want to be? I’m not sure. Kanazawa appears to be a fine enough place but I haven’t had the time to fully explore. Last night I wandered around the city for 5 hours simply to get my bearings, but there are still entire districts, not to mention the interior of the shops I’ve passed that remain untouched.
I have my work cut out for me.
HI Honey,
I’m so happy to hear from you. YES!!! I can’t wait to see pics of your apartment and EVERYTHING!!!! I need your snail mail address, I have some pictures to send you. Had a good check up with my kidney specialist yesterday. :):) Can’t wait until we can chat live on Skype. Sorry to hear that Tokyo was not very nice hope that things in Kanazawa are better. From what I have seen online, there is a LOT of things to explore there, lots of places that I would love to see too bad I’m such a baby about flying. Talk to you soon. I LOVE YOU!!! XOXOXOXO
I was in Kanazawa during that big earthquake earlier this year and was going to post something really funny and dirty that happened, but then I saw that your mom is reading this so maybe not.
Enjoy Japan!
Hey Vic,
Don’t let me stop you. I’m a really liberated Mommie. :):)
What you’re not suppose to metnion is the EARTHQUAKE, that is what would freak me out.
BAD!!! BAD!!! BAD BOY!!!!! :):):)
I love your comment but unfortunetly not everyone else reading my blog is as “liberated” as my mom. Sorry Vic, I had to give your post the ax… but the legend lives on.
