I can't believe how quickly these 10 weeks have flown by. We're all packed up and leaving for the airport in less than two hours. Actually, it's funny, but I'm writing this at 9:30 am Saturday in Tokyo, and we will be landing at exactly the same time in California. Lucky us, we get to do Saturday twice!
I remember at the end of last summer how desperately ready to come home I was. And to be fair, I'm sure a big part of that was visiting 4 places over the summer rather than one, combined with how difficult our trip in China was. But this summer, I feel a lot more settled, and a little sad to be leaving, although I am really looking forward to seeing family and friends.
This summer, I feel like we proved that we could live here in the future and be really happy. We made friends (that got job offers last night, so they'll definitely be back next year!!), found favorite restaurants, and starting making a little place for ourselves in Tokyo. So, whatever happens I believe that John and I have a beautiful future ahead of us, and I know that we'll keep working to make Japan a part of it.
