and finally...

after 4 months of looking, interviewing and deciding, ive finally decided to leave japan and move to oslo/norway.

desparately sad to leave japan, a place which i love so so much, but for various reasons i feel that its the right thing to do

i have one more week at work in japan, then a week working in hong kong and china, then 10 days travelling around the south of japan (kyoto, osaka, hiroshima, tokyo) then leave japan for the UK on the 18th april (i have a leaving party in niigata on saturday 14th april - venue tbc)

i start work in oslo on the 1st may, so i will have a couple of weeks in the UK which also means that i will have my birthday back home with my friends

cant really be bothered to write or explain any more on this subject at the moment, im sure ive bored people silly talking it out with people over the past few weeks/months...many of which have given me good advice, to which im grateful for.

so anyway...
