78/365: Sept 29. This is where my office is. Well, actually, it's kinda around the corner. Love Hotel Hill, Dogenzaka.

79/365: Sept 30. A pretty cool day. I had been working for weeks on an event close to my heart: Photo Nite. It was all pretty frenetic, the day full of the usual stress and running around involved when you have an event on. It was a great night, around 170 people turned out despite pouring rain and everyone seemed to have a fun time. Earlier in the day I successfully jammed my hand in the train doors of the Toyoko Line and watched it swell up like blue sausage over the next few days. And on the train on the way home with Nathan (he lives a few stations away on the Chuo), I finally got the chance to check my g-mails on my phone and found the nicest job rejection I've ever received for a dream job I had applied for months ago. Needless to say I was pretty bummed. Nathan suggested we hit a bar and get drunk. Which we did. Till 4 am. The trip home is a little foggy. I vaguely remember dropping my umbrella 478 times.

80/365: Oct 1. I don't actually spend as much time in the park as the 365 project suggests - I just tend to pass through it to get to work. But it is such a happy 15 minutes, I thank the gods every day that I found such a beautiful, natural part of Tokyo to live in.

81/365: Oct 2. Jake and Darin arrived at Starbucks just as I was wrapping up a lesson. Yay. Love these chance encounters.

82/365: Oct 3. Despite the loveliness of Kichijoji, this is my reality actually. I'm in Shibuya every day, working, often till last train. Tokyo is ugly, smelly, overcrowded and I want to leave soon. Had a shitty day today. Over-worked, not doing enough photography. And so on and so forth.

83/365: Oct 4. After a morning of classes I met Kat, Darin and Jake for lunch at Peppa Forest and then a perambulation around the park enjoying the incredible weather. Then back to the house to... yep, you guessed it, work. Depressing.
