Every now and then I get that feeling to leave. Not to return home or to some place I've already been, but just go somewhere else. Maybe its an attempt to keep my independence from everything. Sitting in offices and doing scheduled things bore the crap out of me. I don't know where this comes from. A typical day in my life usually involves sit somewhere till time to leave job, by this time all boats have left and I have to fork out a total of 50$ approx to go and come back to the island so that usually kills a night life. So i end up sitting in my apartment trying to find things to do. I've picked up a few new hobbies, but those require patience and waiting. Im going to take a trip to a city kinda far off just for the hell of it and walk around Something new to do i suppose. I guess when I came to Japan, I expected bustling night life, packed trains, neon lights and flying cars. Reality for me is ghost town at night, trains aren't in existance, but replaced with boats, blinking lights from bouys, and what look like 1970's pick up trucks and 1980 hondas everywhere. Not to mention people old as dirt, kids pissing and shitting in plain site on the street, and logic is just out the window. Maybe im a bit frustrated today, but shit gets annoying sometimes. Of course everyone knows who I am since im the only white guy for miles. This is met with good and bad things, people are interested in me cause im white, kids like me cause im white, I get favors cause im white. Of course negatives are: People dont like me cause im different, I get watched in stores cause they think ill steal cause im not japanese, kids cry because im big and white, I get ignored when i talk to people cause im not japanese.

Japan is fun to visit, but to stay you got to have a screw loose. And apparently I got quite a few.
