In the Life Log - Days 64 and 65 in JY 2025

Yesterday and today were great days. While my sleep leaves much to be desired because of flight anxiety (and getting lost once more lol), I’d like to think everything else went well. I don’t remember having dreams of any sort; in addition, I didn’t have the bad 3 and didn’t experience any panic attacks so I’m always happy about that.

Leaving Taiwan was bittersweet; I was able to make most of my time bonding with my colleague and her family, but it could certainly have been longer. On my way to the airport, I couldn’t help being amazed at how efficient and neat things were, which is a stark contrast in my country of residence. As I made my way to Japan, I am reminded of this reality too.

Speaking of Japan, I’d like to think that my lessons are paying off, although not as prominent yet. I was able to engage in small talk/conversations in Japanese, including being able to understand the context. Given the short timeframe I’ve been studying, however, I’m certainly far off from my goal (which is to be able to speak/listen fluently).

I also met with my teacher - it was a very pleasant experience, and we shared stories over great food (grilled meat!). We had coffee afterwards and conversed some more.

Despite the minor hiccups, I’m thoroughly satisfied with how things turned out. Looking forward to the remainder of my stay.

Average rating for the past 2 days: 10/10
