I spent 10 days in Sydney and somehow got the best of the weather, some lovely days last week and this week. The trip down to the Snowy was a lovely blast of cold. Yokohama is 🥵

You’d think with Japan’s penchant for tacky tv sets, overacted TV drama, and campy J-POP - that Eurovision would be a thing here, Meiji-level aspirational, but no.

#RHOS is so very trashy, every episode I’ve seen they’re trying to reset their toxic relationships but someone (very quickly) always ends up going too far and then someone else reacts to that while bringing last seasons grievances to the table and 💥 love it.

A young kinder kid always yells おはよーございまーす around this time, maybe they are waiting for the bus or greeting a friend. It’s a lovely marker of time.

Anyway. Three days in and I’m happily getting used to it again. And today begins a routine of “work” for a month. がんばります！

Been back in Sydney for 3 days now. Hectic; suddenly driving a lot in insane traffic, sinus infection, jet lag, reverse culture shock, family, humidity. I feel myself dropping into old patterns. Not destructive or bad, not by any stretch, but not who I am today.

Transferring or even walking around (trying to escape) Shibuya and Omotesando is unpleasant these days. I’m happy for the bustling and lively environment but getting anywhere is frustrating.

I feel sorry for Americans and the state of their union. Both sides are having extreme feelings and reactions and I GET IT, but enough. Reading so many intrusive thoughts dressed up as authoritative opinions on social media is overwhelming.

Family day. Heading up to Kiyokawa to see how they’re doing, general tech support, and chit chat. I appreciate this kind of Sunday in my 40s

Staying awake all night ruminating on the world’s problems has been enhanced by waking up and reading on social media about how much worse the situation really is.
