you know it's always hard to settle back into japan, but then equally as hard to leave it...
the endless noise and hubub and the sushi that goes round and round in front of my eyes has hypnotised me into feeling a lot of love for a country where i don't really fit in. i like that though, as every day is a day where i can search for the kindness of strangers. and most of the time i find it.
i have loved the students this semester. some of the best people i could hope to spend my days with...we have giggled non-stop.
except for that time when we had a TOEIC class and sleepy eyes made me give up.
thanks to the lady who gives me pocky and other choccy treats...to the lady whose kindness has made her into my japanese momma...and the security guard who tips his hat at me like i am a lady. i shall miss...
