This is a regular series within TOKYO BOUND blog to share short weekly updates of my journey.
Highlight of my week?
Last post of 2023! I still had a lot of firsts: First trip to Enoshima 江ノ島 、Kamakura 鎌倉 Okinawa 沖縄、 and Comedy Club!
Spent Christmas at 江ノ島のイルミネーション。でもちょっとつまらなかったと思います。
What have I learnt this week?
The importance of checking if I am going to Narita or Haneda airport. Thankfully I left the house way earlier than planned. I went to the wrong airport but managed to still ギリギリ catch my flight!
Friend got me a シーサ (Shisa) gift at Okinawa 沖縄.
What could I have done better?
Make my own decisions, worry less and do what I feel like doing.
Nothing says 沖縄 Okinawa like ゴーヤチャンプル Bittergourd Egg. I love it.
What am I grateful for this week?
Always grateful for the people around me, helping me grow not just in the language, but for me to rediscover and find myself as well.
I spent my first end of 2023 away from home, and although I went back earlier and did not do the Japanese tradition 初詣 at 00:00 at night, I’m glad I was surrounded my understanding people.
