I finally arrived in Tokyo!
The last 3 days have been a bit of a blur as I've been going through the process of settling down in Japan again. It feels a bit like going through the start of last year, when I was here on an exchange program, in high-speed stop-motion.
It is nice being in Japan again, seeing the clear skies and wonderfully crisp spring air. Even being chided by the obasan for my terrible handwriting in the district office was somewhat nostalgic (I had to fill out the alien registration form twice!), although I got the distinct impression that she was treating me like she would a kid in elementary school. She spoke to me very very deliberately and in very very simple words - "Write down the state where you were born here" (I had filled in only the country). Then again, I've probably spent less time here than someone in elementary school would have!
I dreamt of seeing the Cherry Blossoms last night - hopefully, we will be able to go see the Sakura together some time soon!
(p/s: why are wardrobes so expensive in Japan?)
