A lot of big changes will arrive shortly come the beginning of March. First on the list will be slowly moving to a new apartment. No small feat in Japan considering the many costs associated with doing such an act. Moreover a challenge as well due to all the turning off an on of various services, water, gas and so on. But it is something I am truly excited for. It has given me the opportunity to get on the phone and speak Japanese. It has made me as well once again appreciate the wonderful people around me who have helped in making the move. Along the way I've thought a great deal about humility and acting more without ego as well as focusing your mind during stressful situations. All in all, when a boring life is what I truly dread, I couldn't be happier.
