Ash, deeming this part less important after posting it, has now put it under a cut. Spanish untranslated. )

EDIT: Whoa, everyone in Japan okay after the earthquake? "Flames and black smoke billowing from a building in Odaiba" had better not be any of you. I got through to my family and they're alright; my exchange and Disney friends are checking in okay too. I'm pretty worried about that tsunami warning y'all in Tokyo have but at least Tokyo has those floodgates. God, I wish I got NHK here. I hope you and your families are all okay!

(OOC: NHK = a public news broadcaster in Japan; CNN's using a lot of their English language coverage. Moar info. Additionally, I'd like to point out that Ash's edit was made within hours of the earthquake so not all that info was out yet.)
onlensreflex: (we go on)
And after over a year, I'm home in Australia. It was fantastic meeting and/or catching up with some of y'all on the way back. Those of you I missed, maybe next time, yeah? And Pukamon wants more Digimon shenanigans.

I've already been back at school for a few days and I walked back into my old job at the supermarket. Since I'm going back to Disney I decided to do some Spanish classes at one of the local unis; that starts in another week so I've been getting ready for that too. Too busy to unpack everything!

It feels weird. I love being back with my family in a mutually familiar place instead of playing tour guide, and I really love having my dog back, but it's not as familiar as it used to be, not as easy to fit right back in. It doesn't really help that there's still some damage around town from the storms and that my old flatmate's family is still here.

It's worse than when I came back from exchange. But I guess I'll get used to it in time. And at least it's still summer here! I didn't waste the whole summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

Anyone else find it weird coming home after a long time abroad? How did you deal with it?

(OOC: Fun fact: This is actually the first time I've played Ash in Australia. He was on his exchange when I started out in old Digilife.)
