yes I am still in Japan
Despite reports to the contrary, I am not lost or dead. I’m still in Japan, living recklessly on 1000 yen per day, eating a ton of rice and trying desperately to keep my salt intake below 5 grams per day.
ASA-BANANA diet indeed.
I have a lot of blogging to catch up on. I’ve actually been writing, but my internet access has been shoddy. Numerous times I have felt lucky just to have electricity to keep my camera and laptop powered.
Life has been simultaneously difficult and rewarding. It’s that “character-building” stuff they always talk about in American upper- and middle-class families but can’t actually provide. What kind of life, you wonder — yes, that’s exactly what I need to catch up on posting.
Anyway, expect a slew of back-dated blog posts to show up today. My fingers aren’t frozen, and the Wifi feels streamy today.
