Impermanence 2009
Well.... the day had to come didn't it? The day when I would leave Japan and return to England, to home. That day is tomorrow.
Home!? It's a strange word for me. Years spent following my father around the globe made me realise that home really is where you lay your hat. However, I have felt something for Tokyo that I haven't felt anywhere else; a sense of belonging. My spirit feels at home here. That's a feeling I've never experienced before.
It could all be in my head, that is a possibility. I don't think so though. So I will look into moving back upon my return. It won't be easy. The economy lies in tatters right now, the jobs market is flooded with capable, intelligent people fighting for a limited set of jobs. I've got recruitment consultants contacting me about fake jobs, just so they can put me on their books. grrr.
At the beginning of April I'll be in the land of unemployment. Despite the fear and uncertainty I'm looking forward to it. It's a time to stop and consider my position in life. To focus on a few things I've not had the opportunity to do. Like music for example!
I will look back at this Japan trip with fond affection. I've met some amazing people and seen some wonderful sights. Let the good times roll...
