This is the coolest thing ever

Also, 364 days ago, I wrote:

 ”My mistake was going in [to Lost In Translation] expecting a romance, when it’s much more complicated and more interesting: you’ve got a middle-aged man who’s got a dull marriage and a mid-life crisis, and a young woman who feels a little unloved by her husband and who’s alone in Japan, and the two meet, and it’s just this wonderful low-key friendship between people of two different ages with only a trace of sexual tension between the two, and… god, I sound like a film critic. But… eh, it’s something I’d like to experience, to throw away all my moorings and go to Japan for a while and meet someone random and explore the place with them. I’d love to go to Japan. Maybe I ought to take a gap year. It would make stuff a lot more managable… or maybe not.”

And out of that procrastination in order to avoid applying for university came this exciting year of just planning the damn thing!
