I want to talk about two main things in this entry – firstly the house move and secondly advertising. I know the two topics are totally unrelated but I’ll explain in a bit.

Anyway, the house move; I moved into the house on Sunday. If you remember, I was being very negative about this house but my negativity was misplaced. I can’t say the house is amazing or that I love it here, but what I can say is that it’s not as bad as my first impression made it out to be. I was surprised to find that the second time I looked at my room, this Sunday, I found that it looked bigger than previously. I’m still glad I took my first impression seriously as it did mean I got rid of a hell of a lot of crap that I was going to bring up. I did have around 7, 8 boxes of stuff excluding clothes but I managed to cut a few boxes and in the process also throw out a lot of junk that was lying around the house too. I may have mentioned this previously but I somehow do end up collecting a lot more junk than most of my family and specifically amongst us three brothers. So yeah, this is the start of my 2nd full day here. I think things will be ok.

This is likely to be my last post from my long stay here in Japan. I have mentioned time and again the wonderful memories I have made during the last six months and it is with a heavy heart that I will be returning back to London. I cannot begin to put into words how I feel and what I will take away from the time I spent here but I feel that I may have changed and grown; that I suppose I cannot judge for myself and I will let others see for themselves.

I’ve been unwilling to write an entry in this blog as I have yet to convinced that it’s a good idea to leave behind my trusted LJ account. I have consideredt splitting my blog up into serious commentary and general blogging across LJ and here but I reckon I won’t really have the time or enthusiasm to continue with both in parallel.
