Jet-lag insomnia

I'm back at my apt. and having a really hard time falling asleep. Feels like the usual feeling I have when I come from North America to Asia. But, this feeling is more pronounced. I also have a guest staying over at my apt.

I think the best think I could have done would not have slept while I was on the plane, or else done some exercise before I when to sleep like going for a jog, although that doesn't always work. Maybe staying up all night in Montreal would have been good. Anyhow I have no idea about it right now, but it sure feels frustrating.

I think I'm also keeping my guest up because it is such a small place, and that is not that great since, I don't want my insomnia to impact on anyone else.

I really miss the guys at the gym, it will be tough to change gyms and no longer see them anymore. I wonder if staying in Japan would be a good idea for the long term, some people seem to really love it, although others have expressed reservations about having done it.

I guess like most things in life it depends on who you ask, and when you ask them. For example, one of my friends is going to be heading back to Canada to work as a lawyer, and he spent a number of years here post law school just teaching english, and also working in legal translation.

That's the thing, you can build decent connections and that kind of thing doing anything, but I think the key point is to stay in one place for awhile.
