tokyo peeps, see u soon...

i've stopped counting how many times i've been to tokyo. i'm going back there again today. maybe Nga and I will take the 420 train from nagaoka eki. or maybe an earlier one. we're not sure yet.

jay will be transferring to another apartment this weekend. i'm going to help him clean his room in his old apartment, and prepare his things for transfer. i still have some of my stuff there. it's not fair to let him do it alone.

i had initially planned to go there on the 20th (or 21st - vernal equinox holiday) and wait for emman who will arrive on the 24th. but he changed his plan to march 31. and jay's latest transfer date is march 21. so, i've just decided to go back there this weekend and come back here on the 22nd and concentrate (i've said this for the nth time!) on my research starting on the last week of march. the last week of march is a school holiday. but, for research students, we don't normally follow that one. i checked my old mails last year, trying to see if i came here during the school holidays. and to my surprise, i did come here. maybe i wasn't aware it was a school holiday, but most importantly, it was during that time that the deadline for the final poster submission.

anyway, as with all my previous tokyo trips, i'm looking forward to this one. although i will be travelling for about 6 hours, for the price of 1,600 yen, i won't have regrets.
