I just unfollowed every account I’ve followed on instagram. Not following any accounts. Don’t know why I did it, but I did. Today has been weird.

Also a couple of days ago, I spoke to bar guy about the playlist thing and he said that lyrics are the last thing that he listens to. He eventually figured out that I was trying to convey something through the lyrics and he told me he loved me for the first time. That was cute.

I also found out that I was known as jukebox girl at the beginning by a couple of his friends because he didn’t wanna say my name.

Do you feel better after unfollowing? I only follow a bunch that are all mostly health related. I know it sounds a bit sooky, but as soon as I see a post that is negative, I unfollow. And by negative I mean criticising or calling out where it’s not really that necessary. Like I don’t need to channel those vibes.

Yeah I do! It’s making me more intentional with my social media use and stopped me from comparing myself to people that I know that are doing all sorts of fun things whilst I’m here not doing that. Would recommend if you are interested in doing the same.

Fuel price in Osaka is 174 yen per a liter. Given the the AUD to Yen is almost at parity, I think we’re being ripped off at the pump.

I almost read that as flights and nearly fell off my stool.

The Japanese are fortunately in a position to mostly avoid driving, in the cities at least.

I’m closer to the Wakayama side of Osaka, which is a more car dependent than other areas of Osaka though.

Currently in Japan, and I wonder what the site inspection guy would think of the fact that nearly everything waterproofing related here is pre-fab.

It would send him out of business, but you do lose customizability.

It’s also changed a lot since I have last visited in 2019. Family Mart now has Self Serve, and 7/11 here has a lot more migrant workers.

Looking at Site Inspection guy the really bad houses are cookie cutter. Bring on the prefab, it couldn’t be worse.

The hotel I’m in has a Hitachi prefab bathroom.

Magic Wands, Bathrooms and Shinkansens. The trifecta.

Willowton Free Range Chicken (available from Aldi) consistently outperforms all other chicken brands I’ve tried which are frequently tough and chewy.
