i wish i had your situation right now. i'd much rather hang out and do nothing than have to go to school...wait..that's what i've been doing all weekend :) nevermind.
Sounds like a nice relaxing day... It gets easy to get used to.
Yes the emptier gym is nice! I am lucky in that I can go on my lunch in the middle of the afternoon.

You are very fortunate that you can afford to take your time in choosing your next job.
If people ask you what you do for a living, why don't you tell them that you are on a "sabbatical" for however many months and leave it at that! :)
Enjoy your time off! Maybe you could start blogging about the daily things that you can do around Tokyo! I for one would find that very interesting! :)
I would kill to be in your position!! I need one after working non stop for the last 10 years....I need some sabbitical time but as you know being in Asia, people tend to worry about jobs!! I unfortunately have succumb to this pressure. I wish I knew how to tear myself from this vicious cycle!!
since you lots of time on your side... ENJOY it... Talk to you later
Adious ....
I am so jealous. Enjoy your time off.
You can also say you are self employed :)
don't we all envy you Shigeki! I'm currently looking for a new position but I can't afford to quit my current job! enjoy the sunshine!
Hi Naomi,
hehehe. Well, I am not sure if it's going to be fantabulous but I will see how it goes :-) You have a wonderful day!
Hi TK,
I am sure it does. But I wonder if I can ever go back to work :-) I was always jealous of those people who can go to the gym in the middle of the day! Now I can do that! yay. A lot of cruizy situations or emptier gym? I'd choose the latter. :-) You have a wonderful day!
Hi TigerYogi,
Well, this is what I had planned last year when I submitted my resignation letter :-) Thanks for the suggestion. sabbatical is hard to translate as we do not have that concept. I don't think I could blog about the daily things every day but like I used to in the past, I sure will from time to time :-) You have a wonderful day!
HI Ian,
Although my father is not happy with this decision, it's my life so :-) I think I need some time off to re-focus on what I want to do and since I am not smart enough, I need some decent time to think :-) hehehe. Yup, people tend to worry about jobs. But I guess that's good too. They always go for some job security. You have a wonderful day!
Hi Cesar,
Well, there are some drawbacks about this before you get to be jealous :-) Like it's not common to do this here in Japan so it won't look good on my resume when I want to work again. :-) You have a wonderful day!
Hi Tiputup,
Well, before you happen to envy me, there are some that I menioned. It would be a lot more hard to get a job next time when I want to because having some time off is not really looking good on resume! But I took that risk :-) You have a wonderful day!
Q:"What do you do for living?"
A:"i live for a living"
Yeah, I had a 3-month gap on my CV (aka resume) when I moved to London, and I got questioned about it when I joined the agency last year to get my current job ..... I think it's none of their business, but you can't tell them that.
PS: Enjoy your new relaxed lifesyle. As long as you're not the kind of person who will worry about not working then take as long as you like, it's great not working!
