I have left Japan.
Is it temporary.. I don't know. But I have moved to Charlotte, NC as of Oct 12th.
A few things about Japan.
- One of the best places to live in the world. Great weather (4 seasons), super safe (for now), great culture, great food, beautiful girls, overall love it.
Things I hate about it
- No job market.. the job you have, is what you have. I guess its like any small town (except it is Tokyo for gods sake.. 3rd largest economy-- filled with low paid, overworked slaves ?)
I think thats the only thing I hate.. I couldn't fill more bullets.
I chose to leave for a few reasons
- Overall stagnation -- mostly work related but even personally I was getting lazy.
- I love the GF, but she drives me crazy with her laziness. A break was well needed.
So I am now here.. in the armpit of the south.. or maybe its one of the top cities in the south I don't know.
I am going to make a new blog to discuss Charlotte and my next plans in life, but before I do that let me recap what has happened in the 1-2yr since my last post.
1. I got a dog. Roxy the Shiba. The best friend anyone could ever ask for.. I feel so sad leaving her in Tokyo with the GF but I think the GF needs her more than I do.
2. I bought a house in Niseko and a house in Tokyo. I also bought a dubious real estate investment building south of Yokohama.... not bleeding yet, but its a dubious property for sure!!
3. I had bought 2 units in Utah, a duplex and a townhouse. Why I have no idea, but I sunk $200k in down payments into that so now I'm broke.
4. I didn't quit my job, I transferred with Bank of Mystery to Charlotte into a questionable but overall good role (I think)
Tokyo was great. Did I do everything I wanted to while I was there? Hmm... I dont know but I think I did enough. I had a blast in Asia.. I plan to return. But for now I needed to try a few more things life before the end.
