After three incredibly shitty days, i’m finally starting to feel like the fog is lifting.
Talking shit through with a professional can really help, and i while i’m still irritable and impatient, i’m definitely feeling less sad. Sad sucks.
Denmark sucks too. It’s a weird thing to say when spring is here and things are just starting to get good again, but lately (and no, it’s not a new thing, it just comes in waves) i’m just feeling like i don’t belong.
I don’t like Danes in general, and most of the time i feel like an expat who just happen to have been born here. If it wasn’t for the fact that we’ve worked so damn hard on getting our shop to where it is now, i’m not sure i’d stay. But the shop is so perfect, and i love it so much, so we’d be foolish to just leave something that good and special behind. So for now, this is home, still.

The day before yesterday i asked Allan if he realized we’re going to Japan next week and he hadn’t realized that at all. As the words came out of my mouth, i even surprised myself a bit!
Not having travel anxiety anymore is a big deal for me. I’ve had to work hard to get here too, and it’s nice to feel the reward in such a real way. The fact that i hadn’t even noticed i’m leaving for a month next week is a such a huge change, i can’t even describe it.
A month in Japan will do us good too, and hopefully, the changes we’ve been trying to make in our lives here in Copenhagen, will be a little closer to coming true once we get back. Like for instance, finding an apartment before i completely lose my mind for reals. Stuff like that.

Here are some March photographs from around town, mostly Nørrebro and Vesterbro, in no particular order. Oh, and a few of my nephew too.
As usual, Canon AE-1 and that film i can’t remember the name of.

I know most of my readers are European and American, but i thought i’d give this a try anyway.
Last time i was in Tokyo, i looked into taking some language courses, but usually the schools there will offer three month or six month courses, which won’t do me much good since i’m only there for a month.
So what i wanted to say with this is: if you’re a reader of this blog who happen to know, or have heard of, anyone who gives private Japanese lessons in Tokyo, could you please let me know?
Me and Allan would be interested in lessons about twice a week in April/early May, and it could either be in our home in Kōenji , or somewhere preferably on the Chūō or Yamanote line, not too terribly far from Shinjuku. You can reach me at conspiracyinctattoo (at) gmail.com.
