It was great. Part II

I once stayed awake for 3½ weeks. It was great. I think.

I mainly stayed in Shiga-ken, Hikone-shi where I attended JCMU for 8 months.  I did a month long homestay in Nagahama-shi and various weekend homestays in Shiga-gun, Higashiazai-gun and Osaka.

 

I never actually got the chance to go to Tokyo, but I did have a group of classmates who (for lack of a better word) hijacked me to get to Nagoya University because I was the only one who could read the signs and train schedules.

 

JCMU is big on field trips, so I spent many a day in Kyoto and Otsu.  We visited Nara and Osaka once as they were very time consuming trips.

 

I got the chance to go back to Japan a couple of years later when my sister's husband attended JCMU.  My sister took me to visit her pen pal in Osaka which was a more leisurely visit than going with a class agenda.

 

I managed a long weekend trip to Tokyo at Halloween time.  That was a blast. 

My younger daughter is going to Japan for a year or two after she finishes college next semester.  She has 4 years of high school Japanese plus a couple years in college so she should be in good shape communication-wise.  Dad has a place to stay if he wants to go visit. ( And I do want to go visit... 😬)

So there is a prion disease where they just stay awake for longer and longer lengths of time.  Eventually you will die without sleep.

 

So no, not always great

It could be argued that death is great.  😬☠️

Stop shoving me, I'll get to it eventually!

 

Mom said I wasn't allowed until after dad goes.  Then we'll see how much I like continuing to put up with things after.

 

(I won't do it here, I'll go somewhere where it's legal.)

Lol, yes at the time I was blissfully unaware but over the next few years after I gained a self education on the connection between sleep/life and sleep/death. Fortunately corpses such as myself are rarely concerned with life, death, rebirth, whatever, etc...
