My year in Japan was definitely the best year of my life, for so many reasons - the culture, temples, shrines, scenery, language, school and of course the people and the wonderful friends I made. I can't explain why I feel the way that I do about Japan but I love it and it just feels like home. I am looking forward to returning to Japan - first in April for a holiday and then hopefully in July to work. So this is not goodbye Japan it is more like see you again!
