The humidity is getting a bit intense in Tokyo. I find myself wandering from free AC location to free AC location. Also, lately a lot of the people in my life seem to be moving and need help in said moving. I’m pretty good at throwing things away and don’t mind lending a hand, but this weather is fierce.

After helping a friend sort through her dry goods, I took a bag of expired food down to the corner and took a picture of the neighbourhood. Campaign posters and scrawled graffiti, a small pay parking lot. It’s a great location, central, about a fifteen minute walk to the train station. More importantly she can bike to work and cut out the morning rush hour commute.

I could stand to move… I guess. I’ve entered my fourth year in my current apartment, that’s the longest I’ve lived in one place since moving out of my childhood home sixteen years ago. It comes as a bit of a surprise, I really didn’t think I’d be here for this long.
