End of the year reflection
Myself at the second from right at Ai's last day.
Almost two thirds of my time in Japan is now over and I would like to reflect a bit. I really enjoy Japan, and especially Tokyo, because there are so many things to do in your free-time. Even if you just meet up spontaneously with friends, you can always go to karaoke, go shopping, or do anything else that catches your fancy. I also like that the city has so many different sides. No matter where you go, you will always find a specialty shop or something new. Whether it’s the clothes people are wearing, the style of the buildings, or the staff of the shops, it never gets boring. Also, even if it sounds a little weird, I like all the attention you get from the locals. Back in your home country you are just an average person, but in Japan you are regarded as something exotic. Even in Tokyo where there are quite a few foreigners.
