I just ate waaaay too much for my first meal in Seoul. Don't think I'll be hungry till lunchtime tomorrow at this rate. ๐ Also, one bottle of soju is definitely meant to be shared. Imdodnt even drink half and it's more than enough for one night lol

The new Julie? Why do these bots all pretend to be women and then use photos of men?? Like, at least put some effort in lol
Damn, this line for the airport bus is so long. I knew I should've got the trains instead. ๐
Probably the fanciest-looking, and most expensive, ramen I've ever had. It was almost twice the price of theie restaurant price in Tokyo. Still, it was tasty and filled me up before my flight.
@winterwoman112.bsky.social I finally found the Tokyo Banana sweet you like, in Narita airport of all places! Determined to pick some up on the way back from my trip, if I can ๐

First tried this rum at Pride in Tokyo this past June. Liked it so much I bought a bottle. Turns out my friends love it so much, too, that it's already gone after just a few monthly film nights. ๐ Good thing I restocked for next time. And you can get it through Yodobashi, which I did not expect lol
Off to Seoul again! The first time I went was exactly 2 years ago, during this same half term. Will try to snap some photos on my phone to share, though most will be on my camera. Have a good week all, whatever you're doing! ๐
Omg there's an anime been made of Suikoden 2 on Prime but it has no subtitles, neither English nor Japanese, so I can't follow most of it because I struggle to hear and process it ๐ญ I would love to watch it. Hopefully it'll get subs eventually.
It's been so long since I've seen this. I'm so happy. ๐
Cycling home and witnessed a guy on a motorcycle with earbuds in and a TV show on his phone ๐คฆโโ๏ธ I'm honestly surprised I don't hear about more fatal accidents here with the idiotic things people do on the road.
Bought some socks from Family Mart today after mine started irritating me. Just noticed what it says on the bottom lol
My god, people really cannot just not comment on something that doesn't interest them, can they? They have to be negative and whinge that they don't like something rather than just scroll past. I love Uncharted and would totally buy a new game, though I don't imagine it'll be physical, which sucks.
Naughty Dog is reportedly working on a new Uncharted game that could star Nathan Drake and his daughter as protagonists. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sources...
I can count on one hand how many times I've cycled to work this month due to the never-ending rain. It's so annoying as it's my main form of exercise outside of my weekly Pilates session on Saturday mornings. I really want to get back to it again. ๐ฉ
โTokyo Sees Rain for 34 Consecutive Days, Longest on Record In central Tokyo, it rained again today, the 29th, bringing the number of consecutive rainy days to 34 and breaking the all-time record.โ x.com/wni_jp/statu...
Just got scolded by the driver on the bus for walking down to the end of the bus as he started driving ๐ฌ Whole bus of locals staring at me as though I killed their pet. Didn't even think about it as I'd forgotten to charge my Pasmo so did that as he was about to leave, then scanned and moved lol
Well, this cheered me up after the rubbish morning rant. A student came to find me to give me some moon cakes as part of the mid-autumn celebrations (in China at least? Not sure about here in Japan). Apparently she gave all of her other teachers one, and me 3. ๐ Looking forward to trying them!
Things that have made me irrationally angry this Monday morning: - this goddamn miserable weather and another incoming typhoon - a kid with a hacking cough and his mask under his chin sitting behind me on the bus - a student's mother always emailing me 'Dear teacher', rather than my name ๐
The week from hell is over! Thank god. Now to await the next typhoon and see whether my school will close for a third day this term. ๐ซ
Autumn look. Not autumn. This is a false colour infrared shot made back in 2010 at the north end of Yoyogi Park. Heard the crows overhead. Waited about 15mins for one to fly in to my frame. And, with this, itโs goodnight. Be good. Be better than good. Be great. See you tomorrow. โค๏ธ๐๐ป
Aaaand the first Parents' Evening of the year is done. 3 hours of almost back-to-back meetings after teaching most of the day. 11.5 hours. And a killer tomorrow as I conduct oral exams all day. Bring on the weekend ๐
Watching a different Thai series now, and do they all have really screwed up, problematic storylines? ๐ฌ I like the characters, but man, one of them is awful. A healthy relationship cannot come from this beginning lol
I wish the Collector's Edition of Fortune's Weave in Japan was more interesting. I really wanted the steel book but the rest of the items were a bit meh, so I didn't bother and figured I'd get the Persona 4 Revival one instead. Somewhat regretting not getting it now, though. ๐ฅฒ
Oh damn, Fortune's Weave only has one save slot? And I chose Classic for the first time ever to see if I could hack the permadeath threat in this game ๐ฌ
I got the Witcher concert ticket! It's not until January, so I'm sure I'll forget until my phone reminder goes off the week before ๐
We're one month into the new school year and I'm already sick. ๐ Just hoping it's not tonsillitis again, though it's seeming that way. Thank god it's the weekend soon.
Into my seventh year living here, and this is the first time I've noticed spider lilies growing in the hedge by my bus stop. Maybe they're new??
Watching a Thai romance series on Netflix and it's so damn over-the-top and cringe but I can't stop watching it ๐
This was the game that convinced me to get the Switch 2. Looking forward to starting it soon! ๐
Seeing rave reviews for both Sky 2nd and Fortune's Weave. What a week for RPG lovers. Probably going to do Sky first as I already put 20 hours into the demo and am itching for more, but FE will be there for afterwards or if I feel like crashing on my couch. Bring them on!
