now from Germany~!
Emi and I arrived Sunday... thank god she's an expat... the movers took care of ALL the packing... like our whole apartment was done by 3guys in just around 11hrs... with the amount of stuff we have, it would have easily taken 2-3weeks if we did it... (I really don't believe that some people would do it themselves if there was the option... after seeing those guys work, I was tired!) Now it's all on a slow boat over and we're in a temporary apartment until our stuff arrives.
The last week in Japan was just nuts. Farewell parties every night... it was a real marathon and I barely kept up. Emi was freaking about the move here. I just wanted to keep my liver. One of the first farewells was all you can drink, but no beer... aaah... the wine did me in on that night. Seeing people off was a bit sad... everyone wanted me to stay but really, it's better that I go, so I can come back later. Take care of the company until then! Even though I "quit" work, I'm still following stuff up... like another patent! and some other documents... man, work just never quits. Must stop working for free... thanks to taxes, I never did get my last pay cheque... grrr....
but life as a house husband here is quite interesting. cooking, laundry, cleaning, sniffing out open wifi points... all in a days work, right? Thank god one of these wifi points here was open.
oh, to my friends at Sony Ericsson, SORRY! I got a Nokia phone... I thought 1euro was the cheapest for a phone, but at the store I got the phone from, they gave me 60euro cash to take the nokia! 60euros in cash, right then and there! I paid 1euro for the phone, but got 60euros back... now I gotta find an internet provider that has a similar deal...
all my burning man friends: sorry. no burn for this year. :-( i really wanted to go but it's going to be WAY too nuts then... maybe the full moon then will put together a miracle...?
