2000-2001

When I was in Shizuoka...

Lots of holidays as a student.
I was the kind who couldn't be bothered to attend classes if I simply didn't fancy your class.
So I ended up taking all these strange subjects which probabaly wouldn't exist back home.
And skipping most of my Japanese Language classes :p

Anyway, back to the holidays.
HL and I almost conquered Japan, except for Northeastern region.
I remembered telling her people from the South seems to be the nicest.
And we did received a lot of help from them while we were backpacking.
Like when we got lost in a mountain.
Or when we tried to hike to a Shrine, without realising it was 5 or 7 km uphill...

Which was why I decided to blog this.

Sometimes I have to bring people around, like a guide/nanny.
And I revisit those places I went with HL.
Brings back lots of memories.

Kind of strange though.
I have more memories of Japan then home.

The changes back home are too fast.
Everytime I go back, something new would have replaced that I found familiar.
I am losing touch with things back home.
Here, after 5 years, it's still the same.
Which is why everything is so familiar.
So.... nostalgic...

I might be more familiar with places in Japan than home.
Which scares me a bit.
