Huh. Well then...

I've been dreaming of Tokyo. Admittedly the Tokyo of my dreams is somwhat more amusment park like than the real thing. And there is a general open space feeling to it that I can only get in dreams but I've been dreaming of Tokyo.

I really, really, really, reallyreallyreallyreallyreally want to go. And I think I'm just now realizing how much.

And I'm on the verge of being very, very hypocritical in letting money stop me from going. I just finished clearing off those credit cards, though, and putting $1K on one of them... It seems a horrible thing. Especially when I'll have Comic Con the next month.

That and I really want to bring someone with me. Lots. There aren't many people I know who have passports and fewer of those could likely afford to go to Tokyo with me for my cousin's wedding.

I must wait for my review. I need to see what, if anything, my bonus is this year.

Waiting is hard.

A funny to pass the time...

Here's something to make you feel better though!!!

You make me wish my passport was up to date. It expired in February. :( I've always wanted to see Japan, but it's frighteningly expensive and I don't remember diddly from taking two years of Japanese in high school. Well, that's not true. I remember many amusing anecdotes about my teacher. I don't remember any real Japanese, though.

You should go. $1000 isn't THAT much in the realm of debt. You can pay it off after the trip.

I have a current passport, but so, so can't afford to go to Tokyo. =[

Which sucks, because it would be awesome to see it even once.

It's amazing how much different it feels going from 5k to 6k on a credit card (eh, whatever) and going from nothing to 1k (OMG NO!!!)

I'm about to clear off my credit card and now I don't want to charge anything ever again.

Well, and of course, I'm planning to go back to Tokyo later in the summer, but that doesn't really help you since I don't know you :)

Though, if you need any help with ways to go to Tokyo and not spend a ton of money, I can certainly help you there (during my last trip to Japan in September, I spent time in 6 cities in 18 days -- and about $2000 total on the basics (planes, trains, rooms, foods)

Go. Life is short, and there are, in my opinion, only a small handful of things truly worth going into debt for. One of those things is travel. Go. :)

I have the passport. I have the money. There is no way in hell I have time to go to Tokyo.

Hope you get your bonus.
