7pm in Tokyo - Fudomae Station

7pm last night - meeting up with somebody for dinner meetings. Feel much better now and its good to get out n about.
Staying in is good because I can get a load of hands on work done but going out is good too because networking and building relationships is important too. Maintaining a good balance is recommended. Do you spend most of your current life in or outdoors - not including sleeping time?

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

    I do spend most of the time outside mainly because of school. But if that was taken out of the equation, I guess 95% of my daily activity would be at home, in front of my monitor slurping on insta bowls.. 'x]

    Outside? Blah-.
    I'd have to hop on my car and drive to do ANYTHING where I live.
    Wish I could just walk out the door, walk a couple of blocks and find somewhere to eat, hang, or whatever, like in Tokyo perhaps. All I got is a bunch of woods where I live and I gotta drive about 8 miles just to get to a grocery store or any kind of civilization.
    It stinks!

    Oh wait, it's school. I go really outdoors depending on a lot of various factors like the weather and ski season. :3

    I think that some way along the line, I lost my ability socially interact with others and therefore spend the majority of my time indoors. Also, it's cold out and really dislike getting out into the could. When it's spring and summer, then you may find me out and about doing useless and random thing though I hope that this will be changing soon.

    Since I live near the city i spend my time outdoors with my buddies. Everyday we just hang around looking at the skyscrapers, walk through park st or the mall doing all sorts of shenanigans. I'm also a full time college student so that gets me out of the house even more. The only time I'm indoors is in the morning and late at night when I'm done from my adventures ^^

    Generally I am inside most of the time. I don't smoke, so when we are underway, I don't go outside unless we are giving the whole ship a bath before we pull into a port. I have gone months without seeing sunlight (partly by choice, am on mids ALOT).

    In port, I will go to Tokyo/Yokohama on the weekends. Theres only so much one can play wow. My rear starts to go numb, gotta go out walking. Mostly I window shop in Nakano, Shibuya, and Akihabara.

    During long vacation times (does not happen often), I will get on the Shinkansen and check out far away cities. Cities still on my list to visit and photograph are Matsumoto (and some near by areas), Hiroshima, Nara, and some locations near Sendai. Expensive to do this though...

    I spend most of my time in the city or at gigs when Uni is in full swing. Meaning usually 6-16 hours out of the house every week day ^__^ Quite tiring if I do say, end up getting home usually midnight every night. (When holiday spend time in house for practice and internet.)

    As for my driving test, I've had horrible luck on my tests. Not that I'm a bad driver, am actually many times better than most on the road, but have failed test 3 times for silly things. I haven't been able to take the test and other things again recently because of time and money restrictions. Will have to do soon though, otherwise my theory certificate becomes invalid.

    Those 45 minutes in the car with a strange test instructor, and a strange car is horrifying ^^;

    Glad you're feeling better. If I had a car I'd be out more!

    I love the outdoors, but most of the time I'm indoors since I love going on the computer XD and glad to see your doing better ^-^

    I stay home more indoors because I'm a student and I have a whole pile of homework most of the times. The times I don't I go hang out with freinds ^^, and family ofcourse

    I hate the sun. Don't mind going outside in the night times. But night times are for sleeping.

    Just yesterday I came home 2am after spending some time with friends. The day before I stayed up late until about 4am at home finishing some scale models. I guess you could say I also keep it balanced.
