Well, I've been staying one month here at my parents house. The place where I was raised for ~20 years before I left for the capital to pursue my undergrad school in 2012. Now that I am jobless and not willing to spend my hard-earned money this far, I decided to go back to my parents since the living cost here is much cheaper.
Let's start with the bad part first. Ever since I left this place, I could never find a peaceful moment here. The cause are only two; air pollution and noise pollution. The noise pollution come from my neighbors. The house beside my parent's are being built at the moment. The second one is the vehicles coming to the house in-front of this house. They run a business and thus every half an hour there is at least one vehicle come to pick their stuffs. The third one is from the house behind. They like to play their music out loud (and I don't like their taste). The fourth is kind of racist, but I beg your pardon. Really. I cannot stand the adhan from the mosques surrounding my house. I can hear at least 2 mosques but there is this one near the back of this house which I don't know why sounds so loud. Each call lasts about 30 minutes and there are 5 calls everyday. Sorry to Muslim audiences, I have nothing against you all. All I wanted is to live far away from the noise source. That's it.
The next bad part is nothing is free. I don't pay rent, utilities, or food here. But I paid those all with my mental health. You won't believe me if I told you that I lost 7 Kg body weight since the day I entered this place. I had maintained the same range of body weight (73~76 Kg) for the last 10 years no matter how much I ate or exercised. I suspect that this is the effect of the pollution combined with my disappointment of what I see. I hate how the people treat others here. So fucked up. Fucked traffic caused by idiots. People who walk their dog out and don't pick their poo. Unwalkable side walks, potholes, and the people who disobeyed the traffic rules.
The next thing is I like cycling. I like to travel far away in my free time and I have a lot of it now. If I was still in Japan now, I would've been cycling to Kyoto along the river and enjoying the momiji or climbed Soni highland for sure. But here? Where should I go? The weather is hot and humid all year round, the traffic is horribly dangerous enough to make it unpleasant.
Although staying here means I can eat more delicious food and helped my parents taking care of the household, that is the only positive thing I could mention here.
I need something that allows me to move from this place and quickly build a new home somewhere for my parents in a quiet, clean, and idiot-free environment. Once my dad retired I will execute this plan with their permission. That's my oath.
