Japan was amazing. As a tourist and a student I had a fabulous time, but as a person attempting to live there it was much harder than I imagined. After four months of trains, narrow streets, and food I never got used to, I am home. I love my family, I love my dogs, I love San Francisco, I love being able to look out my window and see the ocean, the horizon and trees!
I don't know when I will be able to go back to Japan next but until then I will miss it maybe only for the exotic sweet and snacks and for easily accessible cheap public transportation.
Good bye Japan! Until we meet again...
