petroniaUm, that was probably obvious. XD Family matters aside, hung out with Rietta in Tokyo (finally!), Aki and Yin in Shanghai, and Ced in Hong Kong. Some adventures** and a lot of much-needed relaxation. I even got to swim in the ocean, which I wasn't expecting. I think I will write proper day-by-day reports, though, because I'm back to work with a vengeance and memories are all that's left me. XD
Yesterday the first box I mailed to myself (from Tokyo) arrived! It contains a Moomintroll coffee maker, a fishmonger apron from Tsukiji Market, some tea (IIRC??), and a dress I bought in a vintage shop in Harajuku which is sort of... difficult to describe? No, I lie, it's not difficult to describe. It's a stars-and-stripes-patterned dirndl. I can't think of an occasion where I could legitimately wear this (Fourth of July embassy party skit? Lolita Avengers cosplay group?), but it fits perfectly and looks great.
** When the nice NHK weather people indicate with diagrams that the wind will be typhoon-level and to be "home by 3PM to take in your potted plants and laundry lines," they mean 3PM, not 5PM, and certainly not "be caught in the street with a massive non-waterproof paper sack of books at 5PM." I mean, I watched the news, I can't even plead ignorance.
