Things I will miss about Japan

Conveyor belt sushi. The fashion. Sakura. Crazy festivals. Vending machines. The fish selection at the supermarket. Riding my bike or the train everywhere. Getting to know people from all over the world- shoved together in one foreign place. Dodgeball. Conbinis. Rock Scissors Paper. Engrish. Temples and shrines. My students. The chime of City Hall at noon. Karaoke booths. Ramen shops. Fast-food udon. K-cars. Watching train conductors go through their routine. Mugi-cha. Good chocolate. Bakeries. Feeling so safe all the time. Watching women walk in their high heels. Supermarket sushi. Electronics stores. The close-door button on the elevator actually working. Sports day at school. Maples in the fall. Umbrellas. The good Italian and Indian restaurants in Kakamigahara. The sweet potato vendor's music. 30+ choices of tofu. The taiko game. Eiji's magic. Izakayas. Restaurant service.
