Things in Japan

Hm. I don't know why but I feel like I should update so I am.

I like it here. The people here are nice, the food is agreeable, and the weather has been getting better and better.

I lucked out and am staying at a very nice hotel for 9 days (switching in like 2 or 3 days though). The hotels are hard to come by here apparently because many people commute from somewhere else (or something). Not sure. Eh. I'm not complaining - my room is a washitsu for like 5 people (meaning it's pretty big). My bathroom isn't the size of a tiny closet and the toilet is in a separate room (which is very typical of Japanese homes apparently). So yeah. It's nice. :) This would be a near perfect apartment if it had a kitchen (though I don't like sitting on the floor when I want to use the computer... X.x).

I think this is kind of what it feels like to live alone! I really really like it. I think I'm still kind of afraid of the dark, rapists and serial killers (I read too many horror novels when I was young -_-;;) but in the end, I really like this living alone thing. Hm. I'd have to really live alone for a while to see how it goes, but I think I'm going to stick with this kind of living for a while! ^^

Cooked Japanese curry and it was delicious. The microwave they have at the center is also a grill and oven so I used it to heat up my curry and rice and I cracked an egg in the middle. It was wonderful. :D

Hm. Otherwise, not much else going on. Been ridiculously busy for some reason still and I'm really looking forward to the other volunteer coming in two weeks. ^^

Self

Sometimes I look in the mirror and I don't recognize my own reflection. Is that weird?

I don't know if it's a lack of ever being able to recognize myself (I don't like look at my reflection for too long... I don't know why but it makes me feel vain so I stop staring) or if it's me unable to recognize myself aging.

It's an odd feeling really. I don't know why I feel so detached from myself at times. I don't feel like I'm living life. Is that depression? Eh. I don't think so.

On a completely different note, I'm in Japan!

I'm going to start a blog specifically for the things I'm doing in Japan (it's for the churches that are following) so hopefully I'll be able to update that pretty regularly! :)
