What's The Cheapest Pda On The Market

Akiba, days of peace and tranquility '

waiting for a rainy day to update the blog, almost a challenge because we had ten consecutive days of good weather and mild. Akiba, this mysterious word in Japanese is a signficare "peaceful autumn" and it 'really one of my favorite weather: clear skies, tall, deep blue color, dry air and everywhere you can still beat the sun and warm as a final gift of the season before winter hibernation. We have had days so 'and stay in home I did not really want! The work is not 'started yet so I'm enjoying the last days of total relaxation.

Here in Tokyo there are many parks, although it seems a city 'full cementified (er, you,' and the '... .. but the green is looking for) and it' became the My mission in these days, got on the bike, canon shoulder I've spent entire days riding towards a goal, stopping occasionally to take a look at the map, to buy a onigiri (hunger strikes suddenly! cit., the balls are onigiri / rice triangles of various sizes with various fillings ranging from fish to vegetables, often covered seaweed sheets are a great snack to take away ... in short, are the "sandwich" that the Japanese are leading in the office or picnic!) or give me a ride in a vintage shop (my other great passion, together at flea markets here in Tokyo by storm!).





I must say that my mood and 'changed a lot from a couple of weeks ago ... the fear of not more able to 'speak in Japanese and' past (my first job interview I finally unlocked) and also the eagerness to find employment has given way the serenity 'of life annuity (the job is going to come sooner or later' .. that I hurry to cram into the train in the morning along with stressatissimi Japanese?) so ... I enjoy my day of relaxation, reading a book or magazine , listening to music, preparing a hot chocolate, chatting with my friends, experiencing the operation of the new ultra-tech oven just purchased.





December will probably 'the month in which it will' work, so ... I prepare myself psychologically to give up all this calm all they sleep (I suck! Not even a 15 year old would sleep much!) to finally immerse myself in the spirit of the company 'of Japan, in fact I'll soon be' too a Shakai-JIN (trans. belonging to the life of society 'in Japan, which is based at work and its rules).

Chapstick Favors In Canada

no longer hesitate' between seasons ... even in Tokyo!




I write from Takenotsuka, Adachi district, the north-east of Tokyo. It 's a cold and humid night and my legs are crossed under the kotatsu (Japanese style low table, and which 'built an electric heater that prevents heat dissipation through a quilt placed under the base of the table, vd. Image). Every time I move my legs 'cause I informicolano .... you are not yet used to it and my joints are still very inelastic ... I hope to become more' springy in the coming months. I arrived in Tokyo for the past three weeks and I can start to breathe a sigh of relief as the great difficulty of finding a home and furnish it and at least essentially 'finished. I'm just back from days long and exhausting, to be drawn into endless van rental (manual transmission left !!!!) in the Japanese metropolis with traffic moving in the boot lunch and a flight-onigiri-and-forth, to other stages, buy mirror / dresser / couch, upload it in the car, went from Off Hard (chain of second hand stores) and svaligialo of everything 'and that 'suitable and useful for our little white house.

Our house is 'apartment on the eighth floor of a palace built three years ago and its strong and' the white wood flooring gives the room a special light over the beautiful terrace 30 m2 overlooking the skyline of the city '. Some say that during the clear winter days from the Southwest side, see also Fuji-san, but I could still see for myself. Of course up here 'pulls an incredible wind. On this night of rain and cold I could not help but fearful wrapped under the duvet (Italian, Hillebrand thanks!) Hoping that the wind does not knock out 'the building but it' s too early to say it escaped: Typhoon No 14 and 'expected in Tokyo October 31, Halloween is a really amazing year, there's no' what to say!

In terms of my mood, well, 'early to say that I set. This time 'more' than any other hard, hardly believe it. I am Italian in the bone and beyond, everything 'that was well established 5 years ago and now the 'more' and I find myself more 'designed to bend the head to the side with a questioning expression (at least some expressions began to take!) nth program hyper-crazy Japanese TV or noting that no one dares to look into the eyes a stranger, my goodness, and 'so' inhuman at times this country! At times I really need ... warmth and e 'in these moments that your PC makes the tantrums and decides to retire, you 'just so', while they are alone and abandoned even by K who goes to work in the morning our damn computer does not work anymore '. Really, really desolation. Pessimism and annoyance. Thank goodness a package arrived from Italy with a delay due to customs inspections (eccheccazz) containing a CD that will allow 'the formatting of the almost dead laptop has upset the evil plans of the Great Heavenly Demon. Maybe tomorrow will regain 'my PC ... or your wallet and buy you a new one, but we hope it is not necessary, God only knows when I'll find' a job and I'd rather save my money and keep under the mattress, unsisammai .....

I post a lot 'of the photino new cottage, but a foul laziness stops me, and think that this weekend I wanted to carry around a Canon for parks and gardens in search of the beloved kouyou (The autumn ritual of contemplating the nuances of the leaves of trees, particularly the Japanese maple and gingko biloba, which change color from yellow to deep red) but since the passing typhoon No. 14 will be 'better to sit here at calduccino kotatsu , reading a book, sipping a hot chocolate (thanks again Hillebrand!).

DaTokyo 's all for now, there' s much more to say ... but everything with patience. I'll have to 'have a lot in the coming months. ZEN lot of patience. Oooohm.
