I've been watching today and been wondering about you and your colleagues. It must be extra shit for you to see people do the whole "Yeah, nah" until it's too late and then panic. On the flip side, know there are people 70km+ away who have their bags packed and plans ready for action!
My mother is a "wait until it's too late person" and I've flat out told her she's choosing to die - it still doesn't matter. Like newly licensed drivers who think they're invincible until it happens to them.
Got some fiery mates who were telling me about where they can be allocated to if needed and learned some cool facts about the Langy station!
I remember sitting on the big chest freezer in my bedroom waiting for Kylie Minogue to start on the radio so I could try and hit record at the very right second.
I'm sure you're aware, but it's considered respectful to keep your goshuincho for temples and shrines, and use another book for regular tourist stamps. I can't wait to see what you get!
That was a hell of a sunset. Gorgeous but always so sad.
