The series of countdown posts continues with a slew of need-to-knows. This post marks the end of a lengthy 9-day holiday and the start of the wind-down: 15 work days out of 22 overall. Things need to be in order, paying off bills and cancelling services such as internet and mobile are among the few. Cleaning out the apartment will be put on hold until my last work week.
During the course of the holiday were day trips to Osaka, Kyoto, Noto Peninsula and Hakusan — all of which required plenty of walking. Photos for Osaka and Kyoto can be found here and here. If I’d budgeted properly, I’d love to spend another day or 2 in Kyoto & surrounding Kansai region. The photos for Noto and Hakusan are still being sifted through, and will be gradually uploaded accordingly. Only one day was spent as a recovery day — meaning I never left the apartment. All in all, this holiday was one of the busiest and the most fun time on the entire time spent here.
Now the worry time. I have money to cover remaining commuting, and food, but the last payment for my camera and bills have left me short yet again. My upcoming cancellation of my mobile will be the heavy hitter, as it’ll certainly hit the 30000 yen mark. I have to straighten that out, fast.
The hockey side of things, the Vancouver Canucks have finally played again after a week+ long break inbetween series. Currently they lead the Chicago Blackhawks in the Semi-Finals 2 games to 1.
another update real soon.
Christian, almost time to come home. Looks like you’ve been having a blast. Looks like your wallets has also taken a blast. Not to ruin the mood of a happy blog, but I’m sure you’re aware of the Canucks’ current playoff situation T_T
