Just letting you know I'm fine, as I haven't updated in almost a month!
First of all, the shocking event this month was the sudden passing of my dear friend, Richard on June 13th. I worked with him at Aeon for a year, and he was only 32 years young. It turns out he had an undiagnosed heart condition.
My favourite memory with Richard has to be huddling keeping warm atop Mt Fuji, sharing a can of Umeshuu (plum wine) waiting for the sun to rise:
You'll be sorely missed!
Secondly, I've successfully moved house to an apartment in Meguro, south, central Tokyo. It's 150% larger than my two previous apartments for the same rent! And I can walk to work in 20 minutes!! Why should I settle for the life of a Tokyo commuter?!
A very unexciting picture of my apartment before moving in all my junk!
I hosted a housewarming bbq party on Sunday 26th and luckily my house survived!
Finally, I've been studying every single day since April in preparation for the N3 intermediate level JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) on July 3rd. My reading (of Chinese characters) has improved quite considerably! I took a mock test today and passed with 72%, so I'm pretty optimistic :)
Love to all xxxxxx
