a night of two milestones

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Fukuoka, 2024.10.03

My Japanese instructor informs me that we've been working together for four years, as of this week. It seems like the three-year mark was only two months ago. 時間は早く流れる。

The other milestone is that I've now lived in Japan for a total of 9.5 years. That's the same duration that my Japanese wife lived in Canada. We're tied, and I'm taking the lead! Mwahahaha!
