Settling In

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 ( Read more... )

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

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

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

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?

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.

Tea is good for your health.

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

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

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.

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?

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

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

Done my share of that this last year.

Ew. I understand exactly.
