It could always be worse. But a bit if the easy life wouldn't go amiss. Talking of which, I'm taking a holiday in Japan in a couple of weeks. Mayuko has given me some tips and I'm staying in her old neighbourhood in Tokyo.

@Stanley: I read somewhere that Tokyo neighbourhoods are confusing because the house numbering goes by when the building was built, so, can I say ---not especially sequential?

Bill dat true. Decided I'd do some traveling this year. Plan to go back to India at the end of the year. Meanwhile it's all about Japan. I can't wait.
Sem dat true too. But shit it's all in Japanese anyway so double insane. Seriously, I'm planning to leave a trail of chalk marks to get back to my digs.

I was driving a tour bus in Italy one time, and we lined up to get in the Vatican at 8:30 am. There was a guide and he handed out headsets so that we could hear what he was saying via lo-power wifi as we wandered around, with the other 12.000 tourists that day.
Anyway, I got distracted and lost the group in a mob of, maybe, Albanians. My only hope---cause I did not know how to get back to the hotel---was to find the group. Sure enough, by twisting and turning my head, I could get scraps of signal from the guide. Anyway I faced with a stronger signal, that's the way I went.
Don't envy trying to get around without Japanese. though. No Plan B? GPS? Service animal? A length of string?

I'm getting a Japanese friend to write out the addresses where I'm staying in Osaka and in Tokyo and if needs be (i.e. drunk), I'll jump into a taxi and I'll just hand over the address and hope for the best.

I'm reading a biography of Joan Didion at the moment, and when she lived just off Sunset in LA, Jim Morrison would come by, randomly, to look at himself in her mirrors. She says he could not get over how much weight he lost, after being a chubby teenager and then discovering speed.
