It's an assortment of "Japan" related things: bamboo, cherry blossoms, peonies, pagodas, stylized waves, Japanese writing....
I think I could live with it if it were just the flowers.

Doesn't really sound rasict. Touristy perhaps, like the tullips and windmills and endless van Goghs we get here.

Man. I realize I still have awesome friends and they're helping me through my bud's move a lot. But it's just harder than I expected it to be to have a friend as casually close as Greg move off. He's one of those people where every single stupid idiosyncrasy of ours under the sun is first nature, realtalk comes second, and love is taken for granted because how else could it even be? Brotherhood.
It's the second night of him being inaccessible, and I'm crying myself to sleep again. Fuck. I'm realizing now that I'm definitely capable of forming meaningful friendships despite my constant moves (and despite my belief otherwise), I'm also capable of forming the kind of friendships that are this level of symbiotic.
Ultimately I'm going to have to start thinking of this as an opportunity to reflect on what level of closeness is possible in a friendship, and that's going to be good for me; we could all use more faith in people. But for now I'm just gonna appreciate this one enough to really be shaken when it's separated this much. If that means bawling, fuck it.

Haha I do swear - actually I swear more than I like; I think I probably edit my posts to remove swearing sometimes which is why you wouldn't realise! But seriously, I have been so annoyed by the noise. During the day it's less noticable, until it stops and I suddenly notice how blissfully quiet things are, but at night it's impossible and I get cranky when I'm tired!
However a helpful man from the maintenance team is on the case, and has identified which pump it is that is causing the noise. It's stopped a couple of times as he switched things on and off, but currently still happening... hopefully he can fix it. It's not just my room, it's several in this building which I guess makes it better but on the other hand means it's a bigger problem.

Indeed...it's the kind of "Touristy Bullshit" they sell at touristy traps. Obnoxious? Yes. Will point you out as an aging, easily pickpocketable foreigner? Yes. Racist? No.

Crying it out sometimes sounds pointless, but it really does tend to help. It releases the flow of serotonin and dopamine to where they should be in your body, and improves stress levels. In short: it's a good thing.
