Suberashii
Our house is tragically bare, but this is good news because when we pack out suitcases in the next day or two, I won’t have to cry from frustratoin. This week has not been the most productive, but I couldn’t imagine it being more enjoyable. We’ve been out drinking every night this week, seen tons of people, enjoyed beautiful weather and I have curbed my out of control shopping habits. I bought the Cloudberry Jam CD and I really love it. We leave Japan on Monday, which will be painful. The country has been so good to us, and afforded opportunities we’d never have had otherwise. The education this life has been will stay with me for a long long time.
Nihon wa suberashii kuni desu.
it makes me sad to see that you guys leaving. i have been an on again and off again fan of your blogs for the past 6 months or so, and will surely miss you insights on japan. i too am employed as an english teacher in japan (and have been for almost four years!) but reading about your adventures has been rejuvenateing for me. here’s to hoping that you two can find comfort in your return to the real world. gambate onegaishimasu.
