Goodbye Japan

[swimordie]

I think I just about had time to unpack this time before leaving again. I'm on my way to the airport now, apparently I'm going to New Zealand for a training exercise.

This is why I can't have a pet. I was thinking about pets last week. I'm not even home enough to keep a plant. Perhaps a cactus could survive my neglect?

Why do taxi drivers insist on talking so much? So annoying.

I generally don't like to engage in coversation with random strangers I just met. ...Which I realise I'm doing right now.

My headphones are in my suitcase in the boot.

Very helpful, thank you. And gave me something to read on the trip.

Haru. I...hadn't even considered children. But thank you for the tip.

There isn't a thing wrong with engaging strangers in conversation. Some can be very interesting. Isn't there a line about a stranger being a friend you haven't met yet? How will you get to know anyone if you don't speak to them?

Next time keep them on you. If you travel that's just logic. All important items you keep as close to your person as you can. Including those things that can give you an easy escape in social and stressful situations.

You're very welcome.

I barely engage my friends in conversation.

I was tired, I forgot. I might see if the air stewardess sells them. Are there other things that can help in social situations that aren't headphones or tasers?
