Recently I've been spending a lot more time with Japanese friends, honing my poor Japanese skills and drinking way too much. Ta-ching, Yama-chan and Minoru all work at the local Thai restaurant-bar. Last night, on my way home, I dropped in for a nightcap. Next thing I know, it's 5.30 am, the sun is up, I've acquired a plastic bag full of CD's and riding through the park dodging early morning joggers and empathizing with late night trainwrecks sprawled on park benches. Turns out Ta-ching are I are musical soulmates. The bar has a HUGE collection of music and we were on the floor rummaging through boxes full of CD's like a pair of joyful kids for ages. Then they plugged the light-up globe and we spent hours going global.

I am determined not to be a Sunday blogger. :) Hence the Friday night post.

Apologies for the surly-ish tone in the last post. It had been a long hard busy week. I do appreciate the nomination. I just hate the pressure of trying to come up with interesting Japan-focused posts.... living in Japan is just what I do, I no longer notice anything unusual about any of it. I think that shows in my content. Anyway. Must be away. More drinking to do down in the park - it was a gorgeous day today, must make the most of it before the warmth disappears altogether.
