In just a week in a half, I’ll be big chilling in the beautiful city of Tokyo! This will be my third time there, but for a short stay of 7 days. I have been refreshing on my Japanese with Wanikani, but it’s been so long without consistent Japanese practice. Wanikani is a Spaced Repetition System (SRS), essentially a smart version of flash cards, that help you learn the written language. I could go on about it for a while, but essentially I use it to help learn Kanji (symbols), and vocabulary.

On a separate note, I got my international drivers permit today! Now its time to start looking at sports cars to rent…. I’m using a site called Omoren rentacar in Japan to rent cool sports cars for the day! The car I’m choosing for this particular trip is a hot white R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R, infamously known as “Godzilla”! These cars were never made in the United States, and are only available as right hand drive configurations. So, just like driving my imported Subaru then??? Not quite the same lol.

All of this, and I still haven’t ironed out my actual “Itinerary” for my Japan trip. I know the first couple days I’ll be able to hang out with my Japanese friends though!!! I’ll call them by their online names, since that’s how we met: There’s Atarime, Souma, and Muscle!

I’m excited to see everyone again! It’s already been over a year now since we hung out in Japan. Our lives have to be so different since we last met, and yet we’d get along like we were just together yesterday. Souma wants to show me his car he bought, a used Toyota GT86!

Welp, it’s way past my bedtime and I’ve got much more to write. That’ll be for another blog post though! See ya later! またね！
