Hello to the two readers of my blog! Well this post is more for my personal reasons, but feel free to read it! Inspired by another JET, I have decided to list the things I will miss and the things I will not miss about Japan. Keep checking out this post because I will be adding things to it as I think of them.
Things I will miss:- Riding a bike that has a granny basket, and not looking like a dork
- The nice old lady down the street from my school that sells yummy waffles
- The cool teachers and students
- Friends I have made here
- Chu-hi (the best lolly water alcohol, and it is so cheap)
- The opportunity to use my Japanese skills
- The funny mailman that cacks himself laughing to himself after he delivers mail to me. (He does this all the way down the stairs and I can hear him through my door)
- Engrish
- Yakiniku (where you barbecue thin slices of meat at your table)
- Dinner with Maki, Kazuki and PJ
- Megan (although she is stalking me back to Melbourne)
- The flushing noise button on the toilets (they don't like peeing sounds to be audible) - I like to push buttons
- Festivals
Things I will not miss:- Missing my friends and family
- Snow
- Doctors and crazy prescriptions
- The concrete jungleness of Ogaki (although someone told me that Ogaki is one of the nicest cities in Japan)
- Heirarchy
- Not being able to buy clothes
- Customer service on the phone in Japanese - they talk too fast!
- Humidity
OK, that's it for now. I will definitely update later. There are soooo many things!
