It has been a quick couple of weeks...time is starting to fly by. When I first arrived in Japan, time moved so slowly. I think partly because of the earthquake/tsunami, and partly because this experience was super brand new. Now, before I know it, two weeks have passed. I am not complaining but I'm definitely trying to find a groove to fall into with this blog. I hate that so much time passes before I update.
So...hmmm, what's new...what have I been up to...there was a Jamaica festival in Tokyo that I went to a couple of weekends back with my friend Sarah. Had a great time and met some Jamaicans that I think will be great connects in the future. I ate some jerk chicken and some ackee and saltfish! I really couldn't believe that. My mom laughed so hard when i told her that! The Japanese are fascinated by Jamaican culture and lifestyle. Reggae sell off a Japan! You should have seen these girls dancing?! It was insane. Some of them could have stayed home but their affection for dancehall was inspiring. What else...?
I find myself typing furiously on my iPhone while traveling. Usually you can catch me on my five minute commute trying to capture a portion of an idea before I get to work. Other times, I have more time...on the train to Tokyo, or more recently to Yokohama, and so I write constantly. Instant gratification.
Right now, I'm on the bus to Suwa to visit my dearheart Owhibia (Oli). I'm really excited to visit her. She comes to Tokyo ALL the time, and it is not an easy trip. AND she has been to Hotes Magotes (my hood...aptly named by Oli) several times. We are going to have so much fun and I can barely contain myself on this bus. We will skateboard, and eat CoCo curry, and shop, which is absolutely what we do best together, and explore Suwa, and maybe onsen it up...(hint hint Oli lol).
I started this journey at 5:00am! It takes about 90 minutes to get to Tokyo and about 2.5 hours from Tokyo to Suwa. So a great opportunity to get some blog entries done :)
