"Linda no boyfriend, you no girlfriend, mom no grandchildren." - Mom
I start this post off writing from my bedroom as I can hear raindrops sputtering off of my windows while "Armellodie" by Chilly Gonzales plays in the background.
One week ago and 8x hours later, I was in Osaka.
And I followed AAAMYYY on a road trip.
From Shibuya with many stops along the way.
English was a commodity to be heard but we communicated in our own way.
It all felt like a wonderful dream. I know, cliché, but it's true.
It only lasted 36x hours.
This experience made me miss my family a lot.
Everyone was so kind that it felt like I was part of their family for a moment albeit adopted.
Thank you AAAMYYY for giving me something I'll try to repay back one day.
To be continued.
