Travel Journal – Wednesday 23/4 – 08

Well, Tuesday felt like we missed it so Wednesday felt almost like the Tuesday we never had. However, today was a sad day because Oliver was leaving. Even thou he hadn’t been around too much he have been pretty lot of fun and we shared many great moments. So today we lay in bed to 08:00 and then we got up, speaking and chatting, and packing. Miiko came by offering to wash our clothes which we were grateful to have her do. Then Oliver went out to eat in the park and buy some souvenirs at the supermarket. Danielle and I went to the roof due to the fine weather and sat there and chatted with Miiko and her cleaning lady.

This day we took it pretty easy due to the fact that Danielle was pretty dizzy and felt ill, I had a fever still from all the smoking I did, and we were probably pretty dehydrated from all the alcohol. However we took it pretty easy, even thou we had a plan to go to Akiba, which we’ll do tomorrow instead, and to make salad, which we will do tomorrow too. We’ll also go to the Indian place to have some of that buffet.

Today’s going to be a pretty short post I think, but I’ll try to write down as much as possible.

Oliver came back later and we went out to eat lunch together for the last time (and first) and we even got to the stairwell to check our mail and stuff. At this time the clock was around 7 in the morning, maybe less for you guys back home, but I chatted to Drak and put up the posts on the blog and shit like that. When Oliver had done his stuff he went back, because he was leaving so he said good bye and we parted ways. Danielle stayed in the stairwell a bit longer but after a while she got back home due to her dizziness. I stayed a while doing some things checking some things etc. Then I got to the park reading some of my post and other things I’ve got. Just enjoying the sun and everything for awhile.

When I got back Danielle was laying in the bed resting and trying to get better. So we chilled out for a while, me lying on the now unoccupied couch because Danielle had moved her bed over to where Oliver slept, and Danielle laying in her bed. We were listening to some music and stuff and then we both took a nap. It was really warm and at least I was satisfied from all the eating and walking I had done. Then Danielle went to take shower and I was starting to write some things on my computer and watching a couple of things, mostly music videos and sing. I felt like I wanted to, because I’ve been thinking about some things that I miss back home. Thou I’m not really home sick, it’s just that it feels like I’ve been away from my apartment and some things (or persons) for quite a long time… So it just feels like I’ve almost have forfeited my old life and that this was my new life.

And speaking of which, it maybe is. Like I’ve told you before Jim is leaving Miiko, and I’ve spoken to both Jim and Miiko about the possibility to maybe take over, but their employer only wants native speakers. So I can’t be a teacher, BUT, Jim is also helping with the Couch Surfing. Which means to get the apartments in order, give out keys, help them and clean and things like that. And I’ve offered to help her with the internet and it seems like I’m capabale of all the things she wants to have help with, so I’ll maybe start working here as a help host or whatever to call it. I won’t get too much, but over here I won’t need it. And we are only speaking about coming here during the summer holidays and the Christmas holidays and maybe during the Sakura Blossom too because there will be many people coming here then. And if I get a better job here or at least a better income I can probably move over here. Well, only future plans if I get tired of my life on the edge. But that’s only if I get tired of my life in Sweden.

Best regards,
