Settling In

[ever_yanagi]

Everything is unpacked now, and I finally have the use of my favourite tea set again. I was starting to suffer from tea withdrawal.

I've been driving around the city to familiarise myself with the surrounds. Strangely, the GPS system I installed in my car doesn't seem to be working very well--- it told me to "turn left and drive 100 metres", which

I have never heard of tea withdrawal before.

[ever_yanagi]

I'm sure you have grape soda withdrawal. It's much the same.

[not_so_chibi]

No it isn't. I've never had grape soda withdrawal either.

[ever_yanagi]

Hmmm...you must have a very plentiful supply.

[senseiseiichi]

...I want a car. So much.

[ever_yanagi]

It's secondhand. I can drive you around, Seiichi.

[senseiseiichi]

But I like driving. I'm saving up for one. Thanks, though!

And you can actually get decent black tea here. Isn't it weird?

[ever_yanagi]

You can borrow my car, if you ever need it. Strictly no soiling the backseat, though.

Black tea? Interesting. Though I much prefer green tea.

Tea withdrawal... That's a new one. Never heard of that before.

And I'm with Seiichi. I want a car... or a motorcycle bike.

[ever_yanagi]

Tea is good for your health.

Petrol is extremely expensive, as I am finding to my horror.

[torikkusuta]

Yeah, I know. It's just... I've never had tea withdrawal before. Makes me curious.

No kidding! I've seen the prices while going around the city. But I'm probably not gonna have to worry about that until I actually get a vehicle of my own. Right now, saving up for an apartment or something. A place away from the dorms. ;D

[ever_yanagi]

I see. Property prices in Tokyo are horrible at the moment. I hope the situation is better in Osaka. Good luck.

Navigating this city is much like navigating a labryinth. I am glad that I do not have to try driving around here. At least I can have some faith that the trains will not alter from their courses too much.

At some point, Renji, we should sit down and catch up.

[ever_yanagi]

I agree. Hopefully I will learn the correct routes, in time. The things I do to avoid the morning crush of people on public transport...

And yes, we should. When would be a good time for you?

[k_ryou]

Why can't you drink the tea not in your favorite tea set?

[ever_yanagi]

It would be like... washing your hair with cheap, harsh shampoo. It can be done, but I choose not to.

[k_ryou]

Done my share of that this last year.

Ew. I understand exactly.
