\"\"<\/a>La Candelaria, Bogot\u00e1, Colombia<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

After a couple of bearable flights, New Year at the Miami Airport, and 13 hours of naps and snacks somewhere on the stratosphere, I’m back in Tokyo. My room is a complete mess and homework’s not yet done, but I’m not planning to solve any of these two issues anytime soon.<\/p>\n

So what are the results from this unexpected trip to my homeland?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The 16MB SD card that came with my digital camera mysteriously disappeared. I’m glad it’s that one and not the 2GB one I bought recently. *Update: as I’m writing this, I stick my hand in a forgotten pocket of one of my multiple bags, and voil\u00e0!*<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. I left my contact lens provisions for one year at home, which means I’ll have to buy lenses here. Fortunately, they’re not that expensive.<\/li>\n
  3. I got a weird haircut. If you’re mean enough you can say I look like Edna Mode<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  4. I met a Canadian guy who lives in Yukon and does dogsledding. I loved the accent. Great company for a lonely New Year; you never know where you’ll meet interesting people.<\/li>\n
  5. Love proved to have survived distance and time. This one is very important!<\/li>\n
  6. I’ve fallen into this desperate need to write. Things in my mind must be sorted out one way or another, and believe me, there is so<\/span> much stirring up in here right now.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Et cetera<\/span>.<\/p>\n

    This morning I wanted to sing, but then I remembered I don’t have a guitar in Japan, so I promised myself I’d go to Ochanomizu as soon as I settle down at my new residence. That is if I don’t get sent home in April. Could anyone move this sword away from my poor little head? I’m tired of adding “… if I don’t get sent home in April” to each and every sentence I utter or write. One more thing calling for written relief.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
