Well, I've just got one day before I leave for Japan now. Tomorrow will be a very busy day as I will be packing, copyrighting my album, worrying, and buying any last minute item I may need.
I think before I go, I should list the top ten things "I think I may miss" while I'm gone, despite whether they (or comparative things) are readily available in Japan.
1. Friends+family
2. Guitars, organs and microphones
3. Submarine sandwiches
4. My bed
5. Using ATMs whenever I please
6. That 70s Show
7. Staying up late (2-3AM local time)
8. Sleeping late
9. Driving
10. Being able to phonetically read anything
To paraphrase a friend "It wasn't until I was on the plane going to Japan that my situation really hit me."
The situation of course, was studying in Japan for a year AKA what I'm about to do. Calling my host family last night really made things sink in for me. AND did you know phones ring differently in Japan? It sounds kinda like what I'd imagine a phone ringing under water to sound like.
Anyways, this will probably be my last post from the USA, so -thats it.
