The last couple of weeks have been possibly the hardest of my time in Japan. I’ve been having increased contact with my family back home, and that combined with the time of year, and my well documented longing for a certain someone back home have had me stressed out and uninterested in partaking in all the usual fun we have here.
That was until Wednesday, I was out for the birthday party of two of my friends - one of whom I count as one of my very best friends, we’ve lived together, travelled together, failed together and now we are both out here living in the same place in Japan - that sort of history isn’t to be sniggered at.
Anyway, it was just such a good night, with lots of people I count as friends gathered in one place, all with the sole intent to a good time. I met a friend-of-a-friend who I’m going out with again this weekend, so I’ll update on that score depending on how it goes on Sunday. She is English, nice, witty and has excellent taste in music, I’m looking forward to getting to know her better.
In other news, I’ve pretty much decided that ‘Kings of Leon’ might just be my favourite American band in this post-pumpkins (yes, I know, but it doesn’t count) world of ours. They constantly pump out masterpieces which seem to go unnoticed by America and the music press at large. LISTEN PEOPLE!
Hero of the week: Uniqlo
