It's hard to believe so much time has passed since my last post here. I guess in a way once you have pushed off doing something for so long, it is just that much harder to get yourself to do it again. I am glad to be back though. I really missed having an outlet to share my thoughts and also having a place to jot down what's been going on in my life.
How does one sum up what has happened in eight years? In short, I have been living in Tokyo since December 2011. I really have a huge range of replies whenever people ask me how living in Japan has been. My answer generally depends one, on my mood when I'm asked the question and two, how close I am to the person asking. Let's assume I'm mostly in an okay mood. So if it's a complete stranger I generally give a somewhat honest opinion about Japan life being un-culturally fit for a western raised person like me but then I balance it out by throwing in some positive remarks about how Japan is so clean and how tasty raw fish is here. But if it's someone I know really well, then I give my best full on negative critique of Japan and hope they aren't surprised at my candor.
