Why do they sell so much spring water? Doesn’t water exist in every season? What’s the deal with that?

I’m back!
Hi, America!
Last Night
I’m sitting in a hotel in Tokyo.
It is my last night in Japan.
Tomorrow, I fly back to America.
It’s been over a year.
And it is time to go home.

Friendship has no place at the Monopoly table either. I’ve never played a game that didn’t end in a table flip and a fist fight.

I went to Kashiwazaki to see the fireworks tonight! They were pretty rad!
Here is a short clip from the show… this wasn’t even the finale! This was just one of several segments like this!

But, I got a really sweet gift from the English teachers!
Last day
Tomorrow is my last day of work…
Speech, farewell ceremony, and try to get out before I blubber all over the place.
Wish me luck.

A retrospective.
Over the last year, I have learned ever so much. My Japanese has gone from being near non-existant, to being somewhat usable. I have seen things, traveled across the world, moved to a country where I did not speak the language, and started a job in which I had no practical experience. Moreover, so did I meet people from all across the world, some of whom...
I… need to write, tonight.
Something isn’t right, and I won’t be settled until it is out.
