Currently at Kansai airport and ready to get my ass home. But I am very sad to leave this place, it feels like I've been here for years. I really enjoyed Japan and my host family. (after the incident.) And I bawled so much while leaving Naga. I didn"t get anything for anyone...JK, the person I really didn't get anything for was myself. I just didn't really want anything because I really felt like the experience itself was a all I needed.
This really enforces the previous want to live or sudy here for a year. I really like everything about it, besides of course the crowds which were INSANE in Osaka. I'm kinda of glad that I didn't go to Tokyo after seeing the hectic setting of Osaka...I hated that part. So I believe that if I did do an exchange over here it would be to a place like Naga. I really did love Naga, it was my second favorite place after Miyajima which was amazing.
I did like Kyoto just as much. The mix of old and new was just overwhelming. Especially the Ryokan that we stayed at. I couldn't stop laughing in the old style bath. Too many boobs and I was just there because I was forced. Another thing that sucked was the squatting tiolets...TOO MUCH. I don't know who would choose to use that over a western style tiolet.
But all in all, it was great and now I feel like crying because I'm going to miss it so much.
