bogota goes to tokyo....

I remember the first time I watched the film AKIRA, I thought: "if Tokyo looks like that, I have to go to Tokyo some day". That was ages ago. Now, after wandering from city to city I finally decided to go there and sort of settle down for a while.
But is not that easy, and it`s going to be a long journey until I actually get there and most important, manage to stay there. That`s why I want to keep record of this venture as it will give me the chance to, hopefully, find people and help; as well as being a “manual” for others that want to do the same. For this kind of things it`s always good to have a time deadline, and since I still have many things to finish here I think setting the countdown for 2010 should be enough.
So…
Starting point: Bogotá, Colombia 2008.
Target point: Tokyo, Japan 2010.

First, checking the profile:
1. Architect: interested in public space, landscape, urban design, informality, ephemeral architecture, homelessness, terrain vague.
2. Family: yeah! Wife+child
3. Money: savings = $0.00
4. Languages: according to the Japanese embassy in Colombia, applicants should at least have good English as Japanese is almost zero by default. (So, if you mates, Colombians like me or latinos in general, are having trouble by reading this blog I suggest you to look for an English teacher right away)
5. Contacts: a friend of mine lives in Sapporo.
6. Other merits: kendo practitioner (no rank at all).
7. Trivia: fan of…. kurosawa akira, miyake issey, otomo katsuhiro, oshi mamoru, kawabata yasunari, miyamoto musashi, katsushika hokusai and the list goes on and on and on...

Ok, this is what i`ve got so far, so, here we go!!!
