This conversation started while I was in the bay area and transcended in its own way to Thailand:


Without going overboard, I've felt quite free around money in Thailand - i did what I could for 3 years to run a tight ship.

Things unraveled a bit when the love of my life came into the picture and choose to just make Tokyo happen outside of my concerns.

The most wonderous thing happened over NYE2008 - I really got giving up concerns around money to be present to being with my partner!

I'm back to running thing on a tight ship and investing money where I feel it makes a difference - for example, my Tokyo Apartment to get myself bootstrapped.

I choose not to couch surf for the sake of peace of mind. By this I mean home for me is a series of projects - it's an ongoing project -it might as well be a process!

so if I could get this out of the way and get a sense of home, all there is to do is find a job

ok - time for me to work on my Google cover letter.

I started this conversation as it's where Mayumi & I are right now this week and back to basics including Cooking!
