Coming Home Again

My flight back to the US is tomorrow afternoon at a little past 5. It is hard to believe that it is already time to leave, after making this area my home for the past several months. I have come a long way since this post, and it's funny to look back at what I wrote back then and see how many of my expectations came true and how many were turned on their heads. I'm really glad I got the opportunity to live here for so long because I think I've grown a lot as a person, and I definitely have gotten to understand Japan a lot better (and I also now know how little I really know).

Hopefully everything will go smoothly on my way back, and I'll post when I'm home! I still have a lot of travels that I haven't written about yet, so expect a few more posts over the next several weeks, as well as reflections on my time in Japan and on going home. Until then, thanks for reading! :)
