T and I were still together when I wrote this, but things are quickly going downhill. Under 3 months until we breakup...
This is a bit of a sidetracked entry, about what my life was like in Tokyo, as I went through the hell of my breakup. I was in a very foreign place, away from my family – which didn’t make things any easier.
4/8 List of things that are wonderful about Tokyo life:
- Everyone rides a bicycle – fathers, mothers with one child on the front and one child on the back
- You get a good salary
- The food is delicious absolutely everywhere you go
- The cigarettes are cheap – if you’re a smoker (not me)
- People practice their musical instruments outside by the river, making my ride home in the evening enchanting
- Going to an all-night beach party and seeing the magnificence of Mt Fuji as the sun rises
Sad or strange things about Tokyo life:
- People who walk their bicycles
- Everyone seems to work hard but not much gets done
- The homeless
- There’s no space
- Being at an all-night beach party and watching the little old people come out to do their ’standard’ Japanese stretches in the morning, while we are still partying
- You start to bow when you are on the phone
