So we're thinking seriously of moving back to Canada. There are many reasons, I'll try to detail a few here, as if anyone cares.
I like Japan, I love a lot of the things I can get here. The food is great, the drinks are far better and more varied than the sugarfied crap in Canada (or at least it's different sugarfied crap).
There's a lot of things I don't like. I don't like the Japanese government's complacency, the complete lack of consumer protection, the pathetic and inexcusably primitive medical services, the blocking of the sky + horizon by powerlines...
I'm gonna go into a more detailed rant soon, but suffice it to say we're (and by that I mean zumi) checking out housing prices back in Ye Olde Valley, and we're evaluating other places to move to, but not as seriously.
Reckon we can do the same thing as we're doing here but pay 50% less to live. Zumi figures she can fly back here every month or two if need be, I'm working on a plan to leave a computer behind with the 100mbit fiber and a capture card so we can record the shows Zumi wants to see and not hassle anyone to send a tape.
That's the big news. No date set, but I'm thinking fall next year... Time to plan, save up, pack, maybe buy a cool car to bring back...
