Today, is finally 'the day'...tougher than an orientation day in your second language; tougher than navigating the Tokyo subway...(oh, wait, that's not really a challenge these days...), tougher than negotiating a physical health check...no wait.
There is no comparison.
Today, it is time for: the new mobile phone contract. Yes, working out the intricacies of this modern (in)convenience has always daunted me, even in my first language. I've left it this long (two and a half weeks) just in case there was a requirement or expectation from the university about plans, companies etc. But no.
So off trekked I to the local shops.
And actually succeeded.
One's reward for such courage in the face of sheer contrived panic:
 |
| A touch of sun |
 |
| They're blooming everywhere |
 |
| Disguising old buildings... |
 |
| Hanging out together |
 |
| Through the treetops |
 |
| Looking down from up in the branches |
 |
| All together now... |
 |
| Even electricity wires can look elegant at this time of year |
Well of course, what else is one to do at this time of the year in Tokyo. (Yes, apologies dear reader, this can only last a few more days.) And though a wet morning promised some raindrops on petals, unfortunately the wind put an end to that. Though being at treetop level thanks to an overpass did offer a new perspective on the day.
Or perhaps that is just because I managed to sign off on a deal...
