Summer Plans
Well, after consulting with my parents, I've decided to stay here over the summer. I was thinking that I might come back for three-ish weeks so I could visit family, and so I could get my dose of kitten, which I am dangerously low on.
This is largely from a fiscal standpoint, which makes a very strong case for staying right where I am.
$1400 - Round-trip plane ticket to Seattle, Washington, and back to Kyoto, plus transportation on both ends
$425 - The amount of rent that I'd have to pay despite not being here
And that's really about it. I just don't like to think in numbers that large, and I have no idea where I'd come up with that kind of cash. On the other hand, I'd like to do a little traveling over the summer, and it looks like I'll at least be going to Matsue for a while. I might be able to get some work there, even.
Even if I can't, there's still a lot of Kyoto that I haven't seen, and there's also Osaka that's not very far away. Tokyo is a $130 and three hours of bullet train away, so I might get to visit Akihabara, which is pretty high on my list of things to do.

You must go to Geek Sector Akihabara!
Before you leave, at least.
Send me $260 for the Shinkansen both ways and I'll go the first weekend I can. For my general needs Teramachi's electronics street and Osaka's Den Den Town are plenty for me, at least until I can not-eat $260.
