Who wants free money?

Because I’m spending so much lately I might as well start handing out free money to everyone. I swear, ever since I increased my hours at work I feel like a millionaire when I’m actually just making a little extra after bills. Lately my excess money is going towards eating food at university since I’ve been forgetting to pack a lunch. If the books didn’t make you dirt poor their overpriced food definitely will after a few days of eating lunch there.

Another thing some of my money has gone towards are Funko Pops. We’ll get into that much later but let’s just say I could’ve bought myself some other much needed items rather than the 14 Funko Pops I’ve got stacked up on my entertainment stand. We’ll talk about this hobby later like I said, but it’s a good example of my excess money spending.

And finally, the last couple of dollar bills desperately clinging onto my bank account were really close to being spent on a pre-order for the new Animal Crossing: New Horizons Switch. I already have a red and blue Switch I bought on Black Friday – nice try AC:NH Switch! The pastel color scheme really almost had me though.

No bloggers allowed in Japan.

Don’t worry bloggers, you’re not banned from Japan (yet?). The title is just a little poke at what it feels like after trying to search for bloggers currently residing in Japan. Now to be fair I only started my search yesterday, so I’m aware of how it’s too early to be posting something like this without at least a couple days more of thorough Google-fu. My searches on Google so far have only given me abandoned sites with no farewell posts, which leave you wondering if life in Japan just wasn’t great and caused them to pack their bags and go back home. Or if life in Japan got so great they got too busy and decided there’s no more use for blogging. Some closure would be great, but for all the abandoned sites’ authors, I can only hope they’re doing well now.

I’m not residing in Japan currently, nor have I lived there in the past, but I’ve always dreamed about living there. Right at this moment you probably thought “what a weeaboo” or “life in Japan isn’t like the anime, weeb” and if you didn’t then good for you for not automatically assuming I’m a weeaboo! I’m a university student who’s going to be graduating very soon, and I want to live and work abroad at least for a year and experience life outside of my bubble. And Japan just so happens to be the country I picked. Maybe that’s not a great reason for you and it might seem foolish, but life goes by in the blink of an eye, so why not try things you wouldn’t be able to do so easily later in life.

That brings me to why I’m looking for bloggers in Japan – to see the unique experiences people in different parts of the country are having and to be prepared when I hopefully start a life there. Hopefully I’ll find someone.

Welcome!

I’m a university student who is going to be graduating soon, with the dream of working in Japan. Check out what my journey until I get to Japan and make that dream into a reality is like through this blog. And then when I get to Japan, stick around to hear about my journey in Japan.
