Travel Blog – Wednesday 29/4 – 2015
Things happens, time moves on and nobody in the audience has any idea…
Right now, and of late I’ve been somewhat absent minded. I haven’t been myself1 and therefore my memory and structure in my head is a very fragile thing. The reason I say this is because I feel like I am repeating myself a hundred times with almost every sentence, thought and emotion that I share. Here on the blog, while speaking to others or wherever.
Everything I say feels like I’ve said it and I feel like I’m nagging and is a broken record. Like a gramophone or an alzheimers victim in his 80s. Except the nagging feeling in the back of my head: “I’ve said this. But have I told it here?”
I am lazy, so I don’t have the energy to read through all the past posts to see if I’ve said what I want to say. So I apologize if you that reads this knows this or have been told this. And about everything I’m saying now of late that I’m repeating things I’ve said. It’s getting better I know this, and so I get to the point:
“I trivs2 in Japan”
I feel like I belong here somehow and I am calm and feel casual here. I enjoy just the feeling of being here. Even though I cannot communicate as well as Daniel Åström or know as much about everything as a Japanese person does. It almost feels like home.
And right now home is mostly pain and anguish trying to rebuild myself and my life. I want to do a lot, but I have energy for about a tenth of everything I want to do and time for about half of what I have the energy for. So for the moment Japan is better than home in all aspects but one. It doesn’t cost this much to be at home xD.
Yesterday I actually inspected my economy documents a little bit closer and chocked on the numbers!
I’ve been in Japan for about 14 days out of 32 and I’ve eaten for a sum as much as I’ve eaten during a stay of 28 days… and according to my budget I can only eat about 6 000 JPY3 before I’m going over my Budget.
Well, the result of this will be that I will probably think a little bit more about what I actually need to eat. And also try to plan my eating better. But also, I have the firm intention of actually eating what I need and want. I will not hold myself back for this. This is one of the few things I have left to live for and I cannot have regrets about this.
Well, on another note today and yesterday was the first Fail on this trip. We went to Nikko, a remote village with a great mausoleum with the intention of seeing the sights and then moving on to Aomori so we wouldn’t get such a long journey to Aomori… what we found out was that to get to Aomori we need to go back to Tokyo. Because if you go to remote locations such as Nikko or other mountain villages, you will not be able to just take a train and be en route again, it’s not that well connected and planned outside of Tokyo…
So the point of Nikko was kind of rendered mote, and we had to return (partly) to Tokyo and prolong our journey. To make things worse, there was a major incident that made all the trains 2-3 hours delayed so we got really delayed to our hotel. But in the end we reached this northern city and after a quick meal I returned to my room.
The rest of the evening I spent alone. And after updating facebook and writing another password protected post, I will go to bed most likely.
