Every now and again, I look up at all the neon and so on, and think "Holy shit, I'm in Japan."This happened to me again on the train this morning, and again while I was pottering around the kitchen. I have concluded that this means I am finally used to being here. Being on the metro, walking around the streets, using ingredients whose labels I can't understand, is all quite normal to me now - it doesn't seem obvious that I'm in a different country. A pretty good thing after just 7 weeks on this side of the world.
Normality coincides with my first finished knitting project since I arrived (there was the blanket but that was crochet). It is a Multinomah Shawl (rav link to free pattern) with a beaded cast off.
As I was leaving I looked back into the room just in time to catch this crazyness...

I would have thought it would take much longer to get used to living in Japan!
The cats are very cute!
The shawl is beautiful!
I always enjoy reading your blog, Lixie, but all the info about Japan is especially fascinating! Beautiful shawl, cute cats, and I love the colours of that FQ :))
Lotsa luv, Heather/Doodles
Just a comment about your lovely Evil World Dictator. Here, when one of my guys (a normally grumpy guy) gets in a bad mood, he calls that "the stink eye", and he is an EXPERT about stink eyes. :-)
