Someone just emerged from what I thought to be a perpetually empty room in this house, cried, "Shitsureishimasu!" and then darted into the bathroom. I have no idea who this person is.

I really don't feel like writing in this blog any longer. There is either nothing to say, or alternatively, too much to say, at any given time. If you want to know how I'm doing, either on facebook or via email. If you want to know what Japan is like, it's probably best to wait until I get back to ask. Although, my answer will invariably be, "Good, but messed up".

Some of the Gaijin here find it be a paradise. One fellow who returned to America sent me a message saying that America is no longer his home, and that he awaits the day he can return to Japan so as to once again live his life. That isn't me at all. I enjoy studying here and learning all these things I'm learning about all these different things, and I am having fun and enjoying myself, but it's just that, study. There is no life to lead here, for a non Japanese, no matter how well you speak the language, and there isn't one for me personally.

I don't want to leave, but I'm looking forward to coming back.
