Another one bites the dust
Got some great news today from my friend Joseph today. He proposed to his girlfriend Satoko and she accepted! I'm so happy for them as they're such a lovely couple, and clearly goo-goo about each other. Congratulations you two!
Miyu's now safely settled into her parents' house, and is fully prepped for the impending arrival of the little 'un. When I was on the phone to her last night, he gave the strongest kick so far which resulted in Miyu screaming out in pain and shock! I'm sorry for Miyu but at the same time kinda stupid proud about it : ) I mean, he must be pretty healthy to be knocking around like that.
I've also noticed a lot more young parents around Tokyo recently. Dunno if that's due to the fact that I'm soon to join their ranks (OK, maybe I'm not so young...), or if there's been some sudden explosion of kids. The government has been making various noises about the importance of increasing the population, so maybe, like good citizens, the Japanese have decided to get jiggy with it a bit more. And this is no mean feat, as a recent global survey found Japan to be bottom of the jiggy stakes!
This living by ones self thing is a bit over rated I think. Especially when you've gotten so used to having somebody else around. I find myself unable to sleep very well. The bed just seems a bit too large to be comfortable. Dare say I'll get used to it, but the thing is I don't really want to! I really want Miyu to be here, but I can completely see the logic of her staying up in Fukushima for the time being. Ahh well, roll on birth!

Thank you Tom! We're on cloud nine at the mo! ...as no doubt you will be pretty soon! I'm sad to miss out seeing the little'un before I spend my year abroad, but look forward to watching his kick-box moves when I come back next July!!
Look forward to seeing you after my exams and making the house a bit less lonely - for a few hours at least :-)
