Turning Japanese (Day 1)
After 8 flights and 24 thousand kilometers later, I have finally made it back to Tokyo with my work in visa in hand! It feels nice to be back, this place fits me like a glove. On the train from the airport to my place my mind started to drift, I’m not sure if it was from being dead tired or what. I’m back in a land where I don’t understand what people are saying, so I go into my body reading Language mode. Over the years of traveling I have gotten use to not understanding people. I have become somewhat of a pro and reading people’s body Language, the so-called “Universal Language”. The Japanese are a very reserved bunch, and with that I feel that their face hold soo much life locked away behind their friendly smiles and porcelain white skin. On the train a schoolgirl around 13 years old sat next to me making Origami. I tired to watch her through the corner of my eye. When she got up to get off at her stop, she turned to me and handed me the different Origami piece she had made and said “For you.” The Japanese are such friendly people. This is going to be the start of my new blog… “Turning Japanese” I will be documenting my experience of living and learning the Japanese ways. There are soo many crazy and interesting things here in Japan that I cant wait to write about and capture on film. So for today (Day 1) was spent setting up appointments to see apartments and getting some much needed sleep. Goodnight for now!
