I wanted to start this blog because... well, I'm ashamed I don't have one already! I've lived in Japan for over a year and I haven't told the world of my "wild" adventures and constant, unique challenges.
One day, I'm going to look back on these years and... I don't want to not remember anything!
So, although I've been here for 1 year and 4 months, I'm going to start blogging (seriously) from today and maybe blog about some older experiences I've had as well.
When I reflect on my time in Japan, it's hard for me to actually say what I like this place. Sometimes, what I don't like about this place comes to my head first. But obviously, if the bad outweighed the good, I simply wouldn't be here.
I came here as a study abroad kid, only supposed to be here for 4 months. At the end of 4 months, I decided to stay until the end of the summer.
At the end of the summer, I decided to stay until I graduated (another full year). I totally had no idea that my life would lead me here, but I'm really enjoying living in a place that's always challenges me. I'm hitting my last semester of my college career, so soon I will be leaving Japan... and no, I won't find an excuse to stay.
Yes, I'm sure. I'm a Peace Corps Applicant now :)
I am meant to go somewhere else in the world, and I am content with my time in Japan coming to an end. But before then, I must blog. It's important for me to have something to look back on, and it's important for other people to know what it's like living abroad!
Oh, I forgot to say this: I started an English teaching job in March and after a week of being off (for Golden Week), I'm starting back again tomorrow! Gotta get some sleep. But I will blog again tomorrow :D
Til Then,
Jas
