WELCOME TO MY WORLD

by Rebecca_jp - last update: May 18, 2008

From Argentina to Japan

Like many other Argentinians, I left the country in 2001, just before the economy collapsed.
My destination? Tokyo, Japan.
Why? Simply because being part of a family with a Japanese background makes it easier to get the proper documents to stay in this country. It doesn't really make it easier to melt into the Japanese society though.

So, long story short, I've arrived in Japan on October 10th of 2001 and, despite the original decision of a short stay, I'm still here and now, I've got a family!

When I started these pages, I was single and had no responsibilities towards anyone but myself. Suddenly, since last year, my life took a turn that no one, neither I, expected. For good, of course :D

From now on, I will try to update these out-of-date pages and will post what I think is "useful" for travellers and living-in-town people.

If you want to contact me you can do it in English, Spanish, Japanese or French. I can also understand Italian, Argentinians are considered the Italians of South America.

My favourite Argentinian song


REBELDE


(*) Caminito al costado del mundo,
por ahí he de andar, buscándome un rumbo,
ser socio de esta sociedad me puede matar.


***


Soy el que nunca aprendió desde que nació
cómo debe vivir el humano,
llegué tarde al sistema
ya estaba enchufado, así funcionando.
***
Siempre que haya reunión será mi opinión
la que en la familia desate algún bardo,
no puedo acotar, está siempre mal la vida que amo.


(*)


Y me gusta el rock, el maldito rock,
siempre me lleva el Diablo no tengo religión,
quizás éste no era mi lugar
pero tuve que nacer igual.
***
No me convence ningún tipo de política,
ni el demócata ni el fascista,
por qué me tocó ser así ni siquiera anarquista.


(*)


Yo veo todo al revés, no veo como usted,
yo no veo justicia sólo miseria y hambre,
no será que soy yo que llevo la contra como estandarte.
***
Perdónenme pero así soy, yo no sé por qué,
sé que hay otros también,
es que alguien debía de serlo,
que prefiera la rebelión a vivir padeciendo.
