Still in Japan
Well I don't have too much time for posts. I just should say that I moved two floors down (that was senseless) and I am STILL waiting for my visa(rrrr).
I've been making some compilation albums on Picasa, that I am updating on the daily basis now so you can check on them. Enjoy

Ten things you might not know about me yet
1. I seem to have acquired a hobo friend who lives in Ueno Park in Tokyo. I met him a week after cherry blossoms when I came for a peony festival near Toshogu Shrine in Ueno and for a visit in Azabu Juuban, and ever since that time I bump into him whenever I am in Ueno. He has something of a old Chinese kung-fu master about him and he ( Read more... ) -

Tidings from Poland
I still don’t know if I will be able to stay in Japan longer. The level of procrastination and red tape in this country is driving me bananas. My plane in on July 17th and even the application for visa is not ready. Not to mention that it might be turned down. And it takes anything from 2 weeks to 1 month to reach a decision on that.

Yet again I fell asleep after a small earthquake, the last one on Sunday and it was even on the news. No. 3 on the Japanese scale. I must say that a long break I had from them makes me rather uneasy. I probably shouldn’t have read the articles about the Kobe earthquake (Great Hanshin Earthquake, 1995) or the Tokyo earthquake (Great Kantou ( Read more... ) -

Today I got my summer uniform jacket. I probably should have asked for it long before that. I got a special form that enabled me to get one free. It’s actually quite comfortable but unfortunately it is in the same shade of green that refuses to match any other color just as the winter jacket was. As I read in one of the books I bought in Tokyo two ( Read more... ) -

Happy International Children’s Day! And let us never grow up since the thought is terrifying.
I know I was silent for much to long but I will hopefully finally TRY to write something. I decided to divide things into concepts rather that write a diary. I mean it would be much too hard to do that, now that so much time has passed. Well let me sum up ( Read more... ) -

When you’re travelling such distance by a plane the border between today and yesterday becomes very vague. I woke up somewhere in the middle of Siberia. And I couldn’t go back to sleep. So I decided to see some TV shows. I went to the documentary parts and found BBC “ ( Read more... ) -

February 5th: The journey continues (LONDON, SCANDINAVIA)
All Thursday was about getting to the airport or to the plane actually. My stay in London was definitely too short. In the morning both Marta and I felt ill. That’s one of the worst things one can get before a 12 hour flight - a cold. We tried to save ourselves (I mean Marta tried to save us ( Read more... )
