she lives! in Japan!

I am once more communicado! It's been a busy month. I uprooted myself completely and, as of last Tuesday, am now living in a lovely little apartment with my sister gnine in downtown Kyoto. Next on the agenda: find a (preferably non-English-teaching) job. And a work visa. ...Er, yes, I am quite, quite mad. Why do you ask? (actually I've been planning this for some time. Still can't quite believe I've actually done it, though.)

But - Japan! The food! mmm, onigiri! udon! curry pan! And I'm a mere bus- bike- or train-ride away from naye, which is the closest we've ever been, the first time we've lived in the same city. Heck, the same continent, even! Not to mention, schoolboys in uniform on the streets, Shounen Jump in every local convenient store, and a Book Off mere blocks away...

...so, has anyone ever translated the interviews with Takahashi-sensei in the YGO character guide? If no one else has done it, I'm gonna - the first three questions are about Kaiba and include little details that make the canon geek in me squee (Kaiba Corporation has 2000 employees and its annual turnover is 150 billion yen (which is almost exactly what I guessed it to be in one hitherto unposted fic. Go me!))

Yah, I know, I feel like I've been neglecting the flist something terrible, but it's been so busy! ^^; I kept meaning to mention something about it and then forgetting...
When were you in Kyoto? I visited it once a couple years ago, but actually living here is just - WOW!

I visited Tokyo and Kyoto last summer. I wanted so much to stay on another week (though I won't miss the horrid summer heat -_-)--living there must be amazing! Wish you luck on the job hunt. And, you know, do visit the flist once in a while--we miss you T_T

I visited for two weeks and it wasn't nearly long enough - that's when I really decided I wanted to try living here for a time. And yeah, I'm not looking forward to the heat, either...but still! Japan! ^_^
