It’s strange. You’d think post-exam, I’d be more talkative, and blog more, but no, instead, I’m slacking off at writing blogs. Partly because for the past few days, I’ve been up to my neck filling in forms (have you ever filled in a form for a US visa? It’s complex shit yo). Anyways, I’m a horrible shopping . . . → Read More: Shopping I was an angry man yesterday. And most of this morning too. Anger – it was a feeling that I haven’t felt in years. The white-hot feeling of burning inside me, wanting to Force Choke somebody. I was angry to the point that my hands were shaking. I could feel my blood turn to venom – literally, even my own blood tasted bitter (I bit my lips when talking, resulting in a giant ulcer today). I haven’t felt this angry for the better part of two years already. In part, it’s because of a special girl I met, whom I shall call PS – she basically muted all forms of anger within me. But yesterday, it seemed that none of that matter, and I just wanted to hurt somebody. To break the monotony of my Kyoto observations (there’s more to come), I’m going to post pictures of toys I bought from Japan, and a comic sorta thing. Be aware though, it’s not safe for work. Lo and behold:  Hmm, this is the second post about my trip to Kyoto recently. You can read the first part of my Kyoto trip here. In this article, I’ll talk about various issues and thoughts I have about Kyouto. I’ll talk about the language, the people, and their culture of wanting everything fast. Also, I’m asking your opinion as a reader, whether I should pursue a relationship with a Japanese girl I met there. Let me ask you a question: do you know of someone who is busy doing assignments, and then out of the blue, buys a plane ticket to a country which speaks a language of which he has only a small grasp of, and then 3 days later, flies there for a brief, 5 day visit? No? Well, now you do. And that person is… Chewxy! Yep, that’s right, folks, I was in Kyouto for the last 5 days, resulting in the dearth of posts and comments. In my previous post, I mentioned that I was going to post something about impulsive purchases, and this is the post. It was a very very impulsive purchase. I was doing my assignments till past midnight last wednesday, when suddenly my housemate told me that Jetstar was having a sale. And so I bought tickets to fly to Osaka – to and fro : $150. Also, I pressured a friend into following me. We were set to fly on Saturday. After we’ve bought and paid for the tickets, only did we realize we needed a Japanese visa. So the following morning (still Wednesday) was a mad rush to get our visa done. The Japanese Consulate told us that it was a minimum of 3 working days before we could get our visa, but the Japanese consul was a nice man, and told us we could pick it up on Friday instead. I had booked the return ticket so I would return on the following Thursday (today, that is), as I had work. But then after the crazy good fortune of us getting the visas by friday, I got fired the next day. If I knew I were going to be fired, I’d have booked more days in Japan. Blah. So, late on Saturday night, we arrived at Osaka (10 hours flight was really unbearable, luckily I had my friend to disturb). We spent the night there in a youth hostel, and that’s where the interesting things started. One of the first things you notice in Japan is the amount of vending machines available. It was practically impossible to walk 5 minutes without finding a vending machine. You even find a vending machine out of nowhere at times. And the selection available… oh my god. To sum up the vending machines, both my friend and I spent about $70 on vending machines alone. On drinks and snacks alone. |
