It’s been 2.5 months since I’ve set foot on Japanese soil and yet i’ve not posted a single entry here. Why? why? why? – I would love to say that i’ve been busy enjoying myself so much that i’ve not had time to write. but we all know that would just be a load of bull. So here, I will recount my journey towards attaining online status in inaka japan.
Right from the beginning, I met with many ‘barriers to entry’… ethernet didn’t work in tokyo during the orientation, i didn’t have my internet up for the whole of august and half of september – which sent me spirialling into potential deep depression as I felt cut off from the world and all that was familiar. The computers at work had so many blocks that i didn’t see an online image till september… it was a dark dark period in my life.
I couldn’t skype and when the car accident happened, i chalked up a bill so high it was as traumatic as the accident itself. it’s nice that they are paying me a nice fat salary.
When the company finally connected me to the internet, my computer couldn’t detect it and it took 2 weeks and a brilliant idea (of another of going to an electronic shop for help) to get it up and working.
then i spent so much time skyping that i hardly slept.
It has been a month since my net has been up and i’ve not done much on it cept youtube, facebook and plan my trips. (side note: it’s strange that youtube and facebook have become verb-like)
Life has taken a turn for the better with the start of school, the presence of the net, the start of a social life and the arrival of the car. and now. I am ready to blog and expose my life and thoughts to those of you who want to know.
