3 Days

I go home to Japan in 3 days.  I can't wait!
I can't wait for the food, the culture, the skyline, the smell (did you know each country has a distinct smell?), the people...  Not to mention the great time with my family. :)

I want to go to CoCo's curry house and Cheese Roll Noodle every night that I'm home!  ...   Okay all but one night because I need my mommy to make my yakisoba lol. :)

I'm trying really hard not to think about the fact that this will be my last time in Japan for a while...  At least a few years.  I'm still hopeful that I might get a job teaching English or with a company translating sometime in the future; that just means that I really need to get on top of my Japanese language skills.   :P
They're definitely not where they should be.

I'm going to miss it so much.  Everything about it.
I'm going to miss my dog (she wouldn't make the trip back stateside-- she's not a puppy anymore ): )
I'll miss the smell in the air after the rain over the rice fields.
I'll miss the sweet people.
I'll miss everything about it.

But I'm not going to think about it! I want to enjoy my last 2.5 weeks in Japan.  I want to cherish every second of it. :)  It's my home.  My heart is there.  I should take nothing but joy from this trip.
