Parsed Participle

At a time when I'm understandably confused about the notion of feeling or not feeling at home in different places, this is welcome indeed: I'm experiencing this joy of being 'back home' - to my tiny apartment in Tokyo.

I got back to Japan on the 3^rd of May, and walked around Ueno station smiling to myself like a fool. It was a great trip, I've met a lot of people, put in a lot of quality time, even visited Chennai after over two whole years - but I'm feeling great just being back in Tokyo.

I get back to work from June, so that means that this is probably the only stretch of time I have (or might ever have) in Tokyo that I do not have to 'work'.

That said, there are plenty of things that must be done; It seems that Leg-4 is not going to be a vacation at all. But for right now, hmmm... Kaki-fry sure sounds good...
