Winter break and eight years in Japan
Jan. 5, 2023As of the end of last month, I've been in Japan for 8 years.
Depending on my mood at the time, that sometimes seems like a short time and sometimes seems like a long time.
I was only in San Francisco for a bit over 7 years so Japan is now where I've lived the longest outside of my family home.
The biggest changes from last year involve moving into a new place and adopting two cats.
As a child, I always grew up with cats and especially with a lot of alone time I've been really happy to have two cats of my own. I may have been a bit naive on the difficulty of being a single (cat) father, but overall I think it has been a positive addition.
