2005 has been and gone and it has been a strange year. I am still in Japan (or about to head back there to be more precise) and I didn’t envision that 12 months ago!
I’m writing this is Scotland when I should be packing, God I feel depressed. More than ever I am at a crossroads in my life.
This year has been one I could never have predicted. Things that happened this year include:
* I fell in love. I haven’t talked about it on here but I met a wonderful girl.
* I visited China. An amazing country but one visit is enough for me.
* My afforementioned relationship (seems to have) disintegrated – with a little help from an (ex) friend!!!
* I stayed in Japan. I made one of the best, if not *THE* best “friend”:http://whatmanner.blogspot.com I have ever made. I have another brother now.
* I visited Scotland!!!
* Recently Jim and I have started producing a “podcast”:http://andy-thomson.co.uk/2db
Things in Japan are pretty good. Life is a lot of fun. But is it enough fun to stay another year? I honestly don’t know. I have had people asking me left, right and centre when I am coming home and when I tell them I am unsure they either assume that I am staying forever or think I am being funny! Seriously folks I don’t know!!!
So targets for this year? Well if I am being honest with you losing wieght and getting fitter is my number one target. You want more honesty? I want to either fix my former relationship or start a new one. God I feel like a dork. Learning more Japanese would be nice. It’d also be good to visit Tokyo. I need to go to Fukuoka and Hiroshima. I am hoping my days off will be changed to the same days as Jim (afformentioned best friend!) and if that happens life will be so good. If Nova screw me and it doesn’t then I will most probably return home in the summer.
2005 was OK. Some fantastic memories, some very bad ones, and several hilarious ones!!! But I hope 2006 is better.
