I agree with mikeman400 I had the same feelings when I returned home. People in Canada can be outright rude. On another note I was just talking to someone today about how I have almost forgotten about making special requests to the waiter or waitress in Japan we just don't do it. In Canada people have so many requests the it is mind boggling.

I want to live in Japan. I was there for ten months on a student exchange, and now that I have come back I am very homesick for Japan, and I have never gotten homesick before. I wasn't homesick when I went to Japan, either. But now that I can't speak Japanese every day, I get really sad and really desperate like I can see I'm not as good as I used to be (I got back this January) so it's almost like I NEED Japan and I really loved it there so I definitely wanna move back someday.

yeah i hope to do that one day!

I dream of living in Japan some day. Or, at the very least making a Sake tour of the whole country
