Greetings, ether.
I finally decided to put fate into my own hands and stop waiting for something incredible to happen. I decided that I am tired of not having anything exciting to write about, so I made a plan to spend the month of June, my birthmonth, doing the things that I really want to do.
Of course I still have the obligation of doing my job, but on the weekends, I will be watching loads of theatre- the biggest reason I came to Japan. This upcoming weekend, I will begin in the best way possible: my first trip to Tokyo.
I'll get there close to midnight after Saturday's work to meet up with my new friend and Tokyo tourguide. He's already got our tickets to see a kabuki rendition of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, directed by one of Japan's most famous current directors: Ninagawa-san. But that's on Monday. On Sunday, we will be shopping all over Shibuya, heading to Ginza, and maybe Roppongi so I can finally buy some boots. Japanese feet are typically smaller than American, so the sizes don't come anywhere near 13 (30cm) in most shops. But the gaijin (foreigner) district of Tokyo, Roppongi, may have something for me. I hope so, because Japanese boots are so fierce, they might as well be labeled WMDs.
Pictures and updates to come.
And I still have to tell you about South Korea.
I'm so bad at keeping this thing updated. What the hell happened to me?
