In many ways I will miss my life in Japan. I will miss the people who have moved mountains to make me part of their community and help in my way through this strange land. I will miss the food, too much to mention and I'm sure you know from my many posts on food how much I'll miss it. I will miss the children, their 'genki' like attitude to life, their smiles and playing games with them, not to mention how unbelievably cute they all are! I will miss the mountains, the trees, the lakes and rivers; the beaches, the old towns and the cities. I will miss the sun and blue sky and the snow in winter. I will miss the blossom in spring and the red leaves in autumn. I will miss vending machines and convenience stores. I will miss being the tallest person in most crowds. I will miss being special and unique. I will miss the cute girls checking me out (Lets face it, it doesnt happen in London). I will miss onsen and adventures. I will miss the joy of actually being able to read something in Japanese. I will miss those random moments when I have no idea what the hell is going on. I will miss teaching, though I look forward to get back to design. I will miss a lot about Japan and although I'll get to come back at some point, it won't be the same.
I will miss Japan.
