It's his work's blackout period - delightfully, with our jobs, our blackout periods are back to back, which means 6 months of not being able to take leave together.
Keep waffling, I love talking about Tokyo! Yes, I would love to do Borderless! See, I missed out on seeing things like the highest bar, every day we meant to go to the top of the metropolitan building but it just kept getting pushed back. Did manage to do Planets though, that was fun! And I want to go back to an amazing ramen restaurant I found in Ginza.
Those blackout periods sound inhumane, I mean what if one of your grandparents dies for the 5th time and you need to fly back to the Arctic? Is that not allowed?
Ramen, GAhhHhh!! When I say spicy, I don't mean white guy spicy, I mean spicy. Yes, I've ordered the spiciest thing on the menu, there's a reason for that, please don't give me level ichi because of the colour of my skin and my poor language skills.
I can't waffle too much more on Tokyo as to me it felt like Sydney, whereas Kyoto felt like Melbs and a place I could live in. And Kyoto wasn't even my favourite place on our last trip.
Any ways, about those sandos... I'll send you an esky. I may or may not be hiding in the esky for a bonus holiday to Japan :D
