Saying Goodbye is Never Easy Especially in Japan

Well in less than a week I head home, back to the US. I am excited for my return home for the holidays, however it will be difficult to leave Japan. Being a gaijin in Japan quickly makes you feel like a celebrity, everywhere you go you seem to draw stares and lots of attention. Lately, I think I have been told I look like Matt Damon at least 5 times a day, and mostly by random strangers. Oh, Japan is quite entertaining, I really can't wait for me next return back.

Ben, I have been impressed with all that you have written, including the survival guide. Parting, says Shakespeare is such sweet sorrow. You have made life long friends which will always be with you no matter where you live, strive to keep up with them. We can hardly wait to see you. What do we get a young man for Christmas who has been all over the world? You are so lucky and fortunate. Have a good trip home, Love Dad
