1 more week

Not much has changed in the last week.  I still have tons of packing and cleaning to do.  I’ve pretty much finalized everything else like sorting out the gas, water and electricity bills, the inspection and handing over the key to my apartment, and my transportation to the airport.  I just have to pretty much finish packing and cleaning by Monday, which is when some people from the school will move their stuff back to the school.  It will be a busy 4-nights. 

I went to Kyoto last weekend and it was crazy hot.  I think it was something like 35 degrees.  As much as I would have enjoyed walking from temple to temple, it was just too hot and there wasn’t enough time, so we had to use the buses and subways.  It was a good trip but seeing like 5 temples/shrines plus the Imperial Palace and Nijo Castle in less than 3 days makes you feel kind of templed out. 

I’m looking forward to seeing Jason Mraz next Tuesday but I lose a day of packing.  I guess I’ll have to power pack the day before. 

I can’t wait to come back to Japan to visit.  But I also can’t wait to be home.  It’s about time someone invented a teleportation device.
