Noble ideas, and then everything turned upsite-down ... as usual.
From the beggining...
I heard about people singing on ships and it seemed to be an interesting option for me. Furthermore, I had lived in one place for more than four months - my natural rhythm of life began to insist on a change of residence . Silently, I began the search for such opportunities that would allow me to earn some money at the same time. I was googling sentences like "a contract singer", "musicians on ships", etc. It took me maybe 10 minutes to find the ad : "Seeking an experiened singer for four - months ,contract in Japan."
- Yeah, I wasn't only there... - I made fun of myself.
So I answered it, writing that I was 22 and had 5 years of experience on stage. I asked for the exact terms of the contract, not believing that I would get any response, because the ad had been on the website for quite a time. Obviously, I wasn't saying anything to anyone about all that since I wasn't even sure that I would find anything proper.
And finally one day I received the message. What I read in it baffled me!
"Conditions of the contract :
> 4 months starting from October
> Fee
> Air ticket to and from
> Housing and food provided""
My first reaction was thinking to myself "well, it's probably some undercover "hore agancy" that just waits for naive girls". Obviously, I still wanted to check out this "hore agency", in case other girls would fall for it :)
At some point I asked Matt what he thought about it - I emphasize - what he thought, not "if he would let me go". No matter what his reaction would be, I would have done exactly what I had planned.
(I think that at my age, problems such as "I have a boyfriend" should not exist, and if any occurred because of him, it means that this boy is limited and must be replaced for a better model (during or after the return :).
Of course, Matt supported me in this abstract idea and said that I necessarily should take a chance on this opportunity.
There was also the question of how to live without each other these 4 months, since we lived together for six months, sharing every moment of our lives. But fortunately, we are already expert in this case, and we know well what the long-distance relationship actually is.
What is supposed to hang, will not drown!
And that's all about it.
If there is somewhere any girl that has some doubts about whether to work or to go on Erasmus or whatever, bring her to me! I always feel broken-hearted hearing the stories about missed opportunities...
I'm going to continue on my first visit to the " hore agency" soon , but for now that's it from my side.
I will try to write often (I'll have plenty of time, whether I like it or not) . I will write about Japan obviously, but I will also review books and movies. Hopefully I can start some discussions on the topics I tackle - everything that keeps me busy for the next 4 months will be on this blog.
Of course, I don't like self-advertising (well, maybe a little ;), but my previous blog www.erasmuski-w-turcji.blogspot.com was the first step to write my first book ! And this is already a big prize and an another motivation to share my life full of movement with everyone else.
