The Misadventures of José Faxner

Hey guys. I don’t know if anyone reads this, but I like to think so. If not, I should tell you to. Of course, mentioning that here makes no sense, cause if you’d need telling you wouldn’t be reading this. But now you are, right?

Anyway, enough of that. I just wanted to pop in to say that I know that I’ve neglected the blog horribly for the longest time, but I’m planning to do something about that. Once I get back to Sweden I intend to give the blog a bit of a makeover, AND seriously start blogging again. I have so many friends all over the world now, and I really really hope this blog will enable me to keep all you guys up to date on me, my life and what I’ll be doing. Losing touch with the people I got to know here at AIU is one of my greatest fears, so I really hope that, even if you never write me, or I never write you, at least there’ll be this site for people to read.

To be honest, I’m really excited about the prospect of all my international friends getting some kind of insight into my “real” life back in Sweden. Considering the fact that I was quite excited to write a blog about my escapades in Japan only to have that result in utter failure, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t concerned this new effort might suffer a similar fate… but let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. I have so many great friends outside of Sweden now; people I may not realistically get in touch with all much with, so unlike before, I actually have a strong incentive to do this.

First things first though, and right now my focus is on getting my shit ready to move back to Sweden. Most people who might be reading this I guess have already gone through it (or are in the process) so I don’t really feel compelled to write anything about it. That of course, being in addition to the fact that it’s taking up too much of my time and energy in the first place.

Anyhoo, as you might know, I’m not happy about going back to Sweden. I love Japan and this past year has no doubt been the best time of my life. However, the idea of going back, and then being able to keep in touch, sending Swedish stuff to people, write about my life back home, and all that stuff - THAT has me genuinely excited.

So within the next couple of weeks, keep checking josefaxner.com. Hopefully there should be some pretty interesting stuff on here before too long. Until then, take care.
