WANDERLUST
SYNDROME ワンダラスト シンドローム

For now, it looks like my motorbike’s engine will come back to life. I paid for $2,700. My wallet is taking a beating. I’m bleeding money! Foooo!! I’m so eager to get back on my bike!  

I feel that one year simply isn’t enough to accomplish everything I want to do while I’m in Australia, so I need to obtain a second visa. The primary reason is to improve my language skills.

Some might say, “You could learn it in your home country too,” but I’ve come to realize that, back home, various temptations constantly get in my way, making it difficult to stay consistent.Of course, I don’t believe that simply placing myself in a foreign country will automatically improve my language skills. It’s also a way to keep my passion for the goals I’ve set alive.

Consistency is my biggest weakness; it’s a major obstacle I need to break through. So, over these next two years, I’ll likely struggle with self-discipline.

Today, I played basketball for the first time in a long while.

It was fun, but now I’m exhausted.

It reminds me of my childhood. It’s like a nostalgia.

in a nice way 😀

I found a cheap, tasty, and generously portioned snack that’s like a dream come true for those on a budget in Australia. It costs only $1.25, and it’s a whopping 200g! The texture is light and more crispy than crunchy. Just one pack fills you up, so I highly recommend it for budget backpackers. You can find it at Coles.

   

Unfortunately, I lost my smartphone.My motorcycle broke down, and to make matters worse, I lost my smartphone. This left me feeling quite down. I had no choice but to buy a new phone and try to get things back on track. On the bright side, I managed to upgrade from a Google Pixel 6 to a Google Pixel 8a, so that’s a positive. I also tried buying a super cheap smartphone from a supermarket called Coles, but it felt like it had an operating system from 10 years ago, and the apps barely worked. I quietly put it back in the box.

The road conditions in Australia are more dangerous than I expected.

There were kangaroo carcasses lying everywhere, run over by cars, which indicated the frequency of encounters with kangaroos.

I received plenty of warnings about this from a few people, and it wasn’t an exaggeration.

It would be mad as hell if I hit a kangaroo while riding my motorbike.

 

I might finally be able to get the motorcycle I’ve been after.

However, the place where I live is in a rural area, so it’s difficult to go to other places to buy things. Even buying a helmet is difficult.

This is because I have limited transportation options. There are buses, but there are only two or three per day, so it’s not easy to move around casually. I can’t move around easily.

I knew this, but coordinating a schedule is quite challenging.

I’m starting to feel that living in the countryside may no longer be suitable for me, given how easily I get frustrated by these things. It seems that living in the convenient city of Tokyo for long time has had its drawbacks.

In any case, if I don’t get the motorcycle, I don’t think I’ll be able to endure the sense of stagnation in this town.

 

I left the job on account of my dream.

However, I had other reasons as well.

I couldn’t keep up with technological advances.

For example, new frameworks, languages, and a lot of other things made me confused.

At first, it was interesting to learn. However, what I learned has become outdated.

My hands hurt, My back hurt, I got tired because my body is not used to physical labor.

The water I drank after work was delicious. It’s reminds me of the club activities I had as a child when and Makes me nostalgia.

I think It will be a great experience sicerely. I believe that experiences that combine pain and joy often become good memories.

changing the subject, I really can’t compete with the strong men in Vanuatu. They work fast and are cool. I will try to be like them.

 

I started working in banana farm from today.

My position is called Bagging. this job is bagging and protecting the growing bananas that hang from the trees.

Bagging is done that using the vehicle like a fork lift.

I think It’s take some time to get used to ride. But don’t worry, it’s not as hard as it sounds. similler to drive a car.

Well, I’ll do my best.
