Sayonara

And so, 3 years 1 month and 6 days later, my journey in Japan came to an end. Moving home turned out to be a hectic, tiring, expensive and most of all, emotional business. All the memories that came flooding back as I packed my stuff. All the things I have to let go. And all the things that I will miss.

I will miss living alone.
I will miss the delicious tomatoes.
I will miss the cool weather. (but GLAD to escape winter)
I will miss my handphone. (and the blinking blue LED)
I will miss its emoticons.
I will miss the refreshing cucumbers.
I will miss the highly complicated but efficient train system.
I will miss the morning wideshows.
I will miss the bagels.
I will miss my bed.
And I will miss some people.

Many things I will miss, but also several that I am glad to get away from. I look forward to life back home again. The sunny island may remain small, but I feel my horizons and thinking have definitely widened. I now have a better idea of how I want my life to be.

いろいろ辛かったけど、やっぱり行って良かった。
何時か、すべては良い思い出になるように。
それでは、

さよなら。
