Moving on

OK, fine. The Publog was a bit of downer, was it? Really, folks, I am fine. Long days, sometimes, when you travel alone, but I am surviving fine. I am, however, ready to leave Nagoya at once. I scheduled too much time here (and to my credit, a plan to go elsewhere last week fell through because a friend had a sick mother). So tomorrow morning or afternoon or something, I shall ride a bus to Osaka station. I will stay one night with Koji, who I met at OSU and was paired with as a conversation partner (nevermind the fact that we rarely actually met to converse). After that, on the 28th, I will go to Yuki's house for two nights. On the 30th, when Yuki and family go to visit the next generation (her grandmother), I will be forced to move on yet again. Nagoya is out. So it's back to Tokyo. A Japanese friend has set me up with an American friend of his who is a Toyo U. student. Looks like I can stay at this American's house for a couple of nights. Then I will -- again -- ride a night bus back to Nagoya, stay one final night, and fly back to Oregon on the 2nd. I am excited about getting to some other areas, and, right, going back to some places I have been. But Tokyo has many districts I didn't see the first time. The only issue is money. Waiting for that December paycheck. Last working day of the month? Personally, I stopped working weeks ago. I am about to call the governor.
