Year two
I came here to Japan 2 years ago today. This September I will have been in and out of Japan for 8 years. The honeymoon phase of Japan Living is fading, after a while you start to see how things actually work and what can or can never change. This is not really a criticism of a country or a people- just an observation of how things are. There is only so much that a single American male without marketable skills (outside of having native English proficiency) in Japan can actually do- and the realization that the life(style) I enjoy each and every day is based from the permission of a very generous employer to work in this country is something I constantly keep in mind. First and foremost I am here for my school and my students. All that blog talk about photography and cameras and other stuff is in all reality, second. But this is the internet! I can do my real life well (or at least try my best to) and so Camera-Photo talk will continue here. My nerdness grows with each passing day. 2 years of fairly constant Friday and Saturday evenings home alone will do that to a guy.
I was going to write some more, wax poetic and all, but that would be dumb.
Here is to being able to get my visa renewed in 365 days.
