I’m going to Tokyo for about a month this winter, starting early December. Haven’t been in a long time. Counting every day until then.

I want to go to game centers, eat gyukatsu and go up Mt. Tsukuba at night.

I’m travelling solo, so if any mutuals or acquaintances want to meet up for a meal, a drink or a game center trip or something, feel free to get in touch. You can email me at danbo@fastmail.fm

I’ve been trying to learn some good basic Japanese beyond the usual travel catchphrases, though BRDA deadlines have got in the way of that and I had to put it aside for a while. I’m definitely not even at N5 level yet, but I may be by the time I fly. Hopefully I can have a few “real” conversations when I’m there, best way to learn.
