So it has come to an end, we’re at the hotel packed and ready to leave early tomorrow morning. What can I say, it has been a crazy ride. One month has gone by and we’ve seen loads of stuff, done loads of stuff and shopped loads of stuff (me at least).
It’s been a wonderful time and it leaves me longing for more. It leaves me longing for a more permanent stage of being able to go out to restaurants without loosing all your money, being able to actually physically buy a figure, being able to look for information or just see some cool magazines in a bookstore.
There’s so much I can do here that I simply can’t at home. It’s not possible because it doesn’t exist. Then there’s all the stuff I can do here that I can’t at home because it’s so much more expensive at home. The only thing I can do at home that I can’t do here is buy candy (I’ll write a post on this later from home to explain).
Regardless of all I said before about wanting to know more of Japanese life before deciding on whether or not to actually live here, leaving now feels like leaving home, I’m leaving so much behind.
But not to leave on a sad note — it’s been wonderful and there are some things I’m looking forward to at home, things that will be coming in the next couple of months.
As I place my butt on the plane for another 20-something hours of travel to go home, I will think about all of the wonderful things here and all the wonderful time I’ve spent with Emma here.
Once I’m home, I’m going to start sorting out the best pictures from this trip to produce a picture book, I will also be blogging a bit about stuff that I’ve thought about during the trip but forgot or didn’t have time to write about (unless I forget them again, in which case maybe I’ll write about them next time I’m here :P).
Life is almost about to turn back to normal and I hope I can keep the feeling of Japan with me, and that I can have the discipline to read my theory books on Japanese and start learning this beautiful language.
日本、またね。
