Tokyo
After six years in Shizuoka, I moved up to Tokyo. I was a decade late, but I finally found out what it was supposed to be like to be 20.
I finally make the move up to Tokyo—well, Saitama, actually—while A. moves to Tochigi with her little brother.
When A. and I break up, I find myself alone in an unfamiliar city.
Ski trips prove to be the best cure for loneliness, and it's time for a little lifestyle change.
From about this time, I began writing for Japan Perspectives. See the Life in Japan and Japan Travel sections for more, including:
| Summer Sonic | Taiwan | Niseko | |
| Survival Games | Niijima Island | Osaka Castle | |
| Of Mice & Men | Sanriku Coast | Yuki-no-Otani | |
| Sumo | Oirase Gorge | Kenruokuen |

Note that while my 'Jacob Novoselic' persona eventually got married, I did not. |
