I’d rather be in Tokyo
I’d rather listen to Thin Lizzy-oh
And watch the Sunday gang in Harajuku
There’s something wrong with me, I’m a cuckoo

if anyone’s interested hehe

I miss Japan.

So before I left to Asia I wanted to make a playlist. But I couldn’t make just one. I wanted one for when I needed to feel safe. Or when I was happy and life was great and a big adventure.
But I also needed one for when it wasn’t. A playlist for when the taxi driver in Hanoi drove around for 40 minutes just to get more money from me. Or when a guy in Hoi An stole my jacket when I was riding my bike. Or now, when I’m in Taiwan and I’m constantly homesick.
This is Asia 1.1. My depressing, angry, frustrated playlist. I forgot to post it before I left. And for those with Spotify.

1. Archers of loaf - You and me
2. The Naked and Famous - Meeting people sucks
3. Joy Division - She’s lost control
4. Logh - Bring on the ether
5. Converge - Last light
6. Cult of luna - Leave me here
7. Modern life is war - Young man on a spree
8. Jackson C. Frank - I want to be alone
9. Margot & the nuclear so and so’s - Dress me like a clown
10. Midlake - Roscoe
11. Logh - The big sleep
12. The Antlers - Kettering
13. Cursive - The rhyme scheme
14. Lucero - All these love songs
15. Blonde Redhead - Elephant woman
16. Funeral Diner - We all have blood on our hands

Spökstad

Tokyo is crazy, and I love it.

So apparently I will be able to stay in Japan for 16 days if I want to, because they don’t want me in Taiwan until 2nd May. I have no idea what I’m going to do while I’m in Japan. How does one week in Osaka and one week in Tokyo sound?
