Are you ready for it?!

"Are you ready for it?!" has been the most asked question lately. I tend to answer with "I think so..".

It's not a definite yes...'cause I'm never sure. I'm not even sure what people mean with the question (pseudo autistic here). Did I get the visa? Yep. Do I have enough money? We'll see. Do I have a place to go when I arrive? Yes I booked it yesterday! Am I mentally or emotionally ready for it? ... eh I'm trying not to think too much about that and that's working great for me. Ignorance is bliss forever.

Another frequently asked question was "Have you packed yet?". This one is a solid and definite NO. I have this new thing where I don't really sleep the night before a flight and then dedicate that night to procrastinating until I hate myself and then pack my bags about an hour before I need to leave.
To be fair, even tho I have a big and embarrassing history of forgetting to bring (back) STUFF, most other things I have taken care of. And stuff can be bought at the place of destination. And in Japan everything is for sale in a 100 times cuter version that I'd probably prefer anyway. So no stress there.

I'm looking forward to being in Tokyo for a couple of days. I'm looking forward to be a shameless tourist with a backpack and a camera hanging around my neck. I feel like I'm not like that most of the times. 'Cause most of the times wherever I am, I try to fit in and act like I toooootallly know where I am and what I'm doing to avoid people being annoying and pushy and scary. I felt so safe in Japan last time!

The last question that I needed to answer a couple of times, "Are you gonna keep a blog?".
The answer is yes. I just started it while sitting in the lounge waiting for my flight.
