Travel Journal – The Last Days – 2010
People, shopping and travelling…
Well, the last few days were hectic to say the least. They weren’t hectic per se, but we had much, much to do and things didn’t really go as planned either when we changed our plans or tried to do as much as possible. This lead to that I had no energy to write and then we journeyed back home which drew enormously of my energy resources. The day before we went home though I almost felt like playing RPG on Saturday, haha, little did I know… though I suspected it.
I won’t go much into detail in any of these days but I will round it up I think. The first of these last days I spent with Sachiko alone while Drak was in Ueno with the others doing well knows what. We though had a picnic at a river somewhere in Tokyo I think. We didn’t do much that I want to write here in general but it was really nice and I think I might have a friend in Sachiko. Now I only need to catch her on MSN when I get back home, but that shouldn’t be too hard with my habits.
Heh, at the moment Junior Avatar1 is moping on the rug in front of the door. I took him out for a walk today since he seemed to have behaved quite good and needed some activity after the past days where he’s mostly been relaxing and cuddling with me and Jun-kun2. Anyway the last days other than the day I spent with Sachiko we ate some Yakiniku with Miiko again in our apartment, this time with another of her young friends. We also went shopping during the days trying to find stuff for people or whatever. One day we even went into a Maid Café, which is an experience one won’t forget that easily.
Last time I just peaked into one, this though was… almost scary and good expensive! They sang and did good know what and tried to get one to buy or do a lot of stuff. When you ordered something, before you received your order you had to do some kind of hand gestures and words which almost felt like chanting but in a cute way. Everything cost money here and I think that given the opportunity both me and Drak would loose a lot of money in a place like this with cute girls dressed as maids doing cute things and wanting to play and sing and all that
Well, the day for travelling came and it was a strenuous day I tell you that. I don’t really feel to write about it in detail but in essence when we got to the airport the day before our plane departed they didn’t want us to sleep there. After being sent here and there we were finally kicked out of the airport and then went to the closest stop nearby by train and just wandered around in the night until we finally settled in a McDonalds since I didn’t see any point in just walking when at least my legs were tired as well as me myself. Drak though seemed like he wanted to sightsee a completely useless place without anything interesting AT ALL.
Well, finally we got back to the airport where we finally got onboard on our plane to China. Well, the trip back was really long and hard on our bodies and since I had finished my audio book I used the time to sleep and at one point write a little on some stuff for the upcoming RPG group. I’d also thought a lot about things that needed doing when I get home and all the possible radical choices that lies ahead in the future, how to deal with them and what to give priority over others. Some of the choices will ruin or at least postpone a lot of my lifelong works but well, the question is if it isn’t worth it? But we’ll see what happens.
Well, we met my mother at Arlanda where she treated us dinner. I had to pay for my luggage since it weighed too much. Next time I won’t use fucking Norewigan Air. They are jackasses and have bad prices. They are supposed to be better than SAS but they are more expensive too students and people under 25. I took Norwegian Air this time only because of Drak, but next time I won’t do something like that since it cost me 700 SEK. Not unless he’s paying. But if that wasn’t enough they broke the bag too. Tomorrow I’ll call them and demand compensation or else. It just makes me annoyed thinking about Norwegian. Its things like this that makes customers change companies I think. Irrational annoyance since they failed one once. Well, whatever.
Finally home though I got the most delightful surprise I could ever have whished for. Not only Rasmus to greet me but Robert too. It seemed like Robert had come over today to say welcome back which is quite nice of him to do so. I think that he’s most likely the only one that went to such great lengths to say that, with exceptions of my mum but she doesn’t count. It really made me happy to have them both welcome me. Junior and Lillen took it well too. They weren’t as withdrawn from me as I had expected nor were they afraid as they were last time.
The first night home though proved that Rasmus have been nice to them even though he’s done some things they don’t like; like showering them. But in total he’s been gentler with them than I. I barely accept any mistakes when it comes to the tables and especially not the kitchen sink. Which I’ve dealt with now, very drastically. I wasn’t nice to Lillen when she did that in the morning after I came home but now she won’t do it whenever she thinks there’s a slightest possibility that I’m home and can hear it. I think though she won’t do it again for a great while since I’m reminding her every day about how I feel about kittens up on the sink. I’ve also mildly reprimanded them both for jumping up on the living room table. But that is something they will do again I’m sure. Especially when they think they can get away with it. It all started when I left them for a week. It will take time to make them learn that they can’t get away with it and if they even try they will come to regret it direly. As with the sink; they shall fear the consequences even though I’m not near.
Well, well… I might write another post later about the differences with this trip and the other trip other than the obvious. Like feelings, things that were different and how it were to be with someone I knew and things like that. Today though I think I’ll concentrate with other stuff now when I have the energy. I hope though that those who have read have enjoyed the journey.
Best Regards,
