GREEN!!!

Time is winding down. Just a couple more days and I am out of Tatsuno. In a mad dash I was looking for a job somewhere! Almost anywhere in Japan! So went out to Osaka for some interviews. I have been to Osaka alot of times, but I guess I start to notice more things when I have lived here awhile.

1. First of all its crazy! Compared to the laid back life of the "inaka" or country side, everyone in Osaka is running around. Running for the train, running in the halls, running through the streets. Why everyone gotta be all stressed and rushed? Makes me feel stressed, I don't remember anyone in Seattle running around all crazy.
2. Running errands takes alot of time! Bigger city, more places, but then everything is far away. Gotta take the train here for the interview, then gotta go back here for the hotel, then gotta go here for immigration. I spent like half the day on the train. Sucks! Back in the "inaka", tax office next door, city hall down the street, gym a 5 minute bike ride, school and food a stone throw away. More time to relax and play video games, thats how life should be. You don't want to spend your life on a stupid train.
3. Green. The reason why I like Seattle is because it's green. It's a city but it's nice, green, got mountains, lakes, ocean, you name it its got it. Then there was the day in Osaka. Osaka got lots of people, running people. Its got alot of concrete and it's flat with no mountains, and most of all there is not a shred of green. It's the classic concrete jungle they all talk about. There is no green and thats not cool. Take note, not to live there.

Anyways life is a bit crazy, Monday figure out the final decision of the VISA thing. Visa kinda expired today, but luckily got it worked out, so I got an extension.... to be continued ...
