Hi Friends, Tonight, I went to my former home Borderless House, where I haven’t been in three weeks (too long). I’ve truly missed Borderless, especially since in my new house (Sakura House-Hakozakicho) I’ve only met two people (two boring people), and it’s deathly quiet.

The weather in Tokyo is schizophrenic. Two days ago, it was snowing and frigid; yesterday was mild and sunny; today, it’s raining and gloomy. I’m absolutely convinced that tomorrow, it’ll be scorching with one or two low-intensity earthquakes thrown in for good measure. (The tremors get stronger everyday). Friends and I were talking the other day about […]
