Which stupid country requires residents to pay the income tax of 2 countries when they're not even living in the country, working in the country, using the country's facilities, or even breathing the air of the country?! Canada.
Yes...and because of this law, I must stay in Japan for another year...until April of next year.
I was so disappointed at first...cuz staying in Japan for a longer time means I'll have to postpone my plan to go back to school to study DTP...which also means I'll be older and older as I work my way through my "not-yet-started-career".
But...I've decided...
If I keep thinking about the people, things, and places in Canada, it's just gonna make me feel miserable in the year to come. Since I have no choice now, I might as well make the best out of the time I'll stay in Japan. I have to say that Japan is a good country to live in, despite the costs.......
the people are all nice and honest here; my way of living is perfect here.
Is it possible for me to stay longer? mmm...yes...one more year...
This probably disappointed the very few people who were expecting me...but there are still soooo much to do, so much to see, so much to learn...maybe it's not such a bad idea after all...

maybe we all see "time" in this linear dimension.... that's why we have such anxiety of "not-yet-started-career" thingy...
yeah, take it easy
make the moment worthwhile
afterall, future is a accumulation of past moments~
take care~
Will be leaving saskatoon in two weeks or so. Despite of the city's many shortcomings, I know that i am going to miss this place for the future years to come. Will you have the same kind of feelings by the time you leave Japan? I certainly believe so. Our address may change every now and then, and the people with whom we have make aquaince may come and go. However, their influences, positive or negative, may remain with us for a lifetime.
It's funny to see Hank getting all philosophical and stuff, but hey, Hank, the word, "thingy", really ruins it. (I thought only girls use that expression?)
By the way, pitch black background is a briliant idea for your blog site. It's simple and yet it stands out with hints of sophistication. Great blog~
