Saying Goodbyes

Within a span of 3 weeks, the people who I most enjoyed spending time with have all left Japan...!

Erica and I arrived in Japan together on the JET program, and over the 3 years planned lots of trips together. Despite living in different prefectures, the 3 or 4 hour trip was no deterrent to us getting together! Thanks to her, I feel as home in Kumamoto at Erica's place as I do in Nagasaki. I look forward to next meeting up in Canada! After being in Japan for 3 years, it'll be interesting to hear how adusting to life in Canada will be like! I can expect a similar experience when I go back I'm sure..


Although Sheila lived way out in Kochi, it felt like she was always nearby..Our birthdays being only a day apart was just one of the many things we had in common. Celebrating our birthdays in Tokyo, camp in Yamaguchi, morning calls during the Fast, Korea and Australia were just some of the fun times we had together..I look forward to our next trip together! We'll have to find a way to break the 'miho/sheila/michelle' weather spell though..... !!!
From the first time I met Alex, he reminded me so much of David, that I took an instant liking to him. He's a kind, laid back kinda of guy, who is so easy to get along with. He'd been to my school a couple of times, and everyone (especially the girls) loved him, and when I visited his school we were automatically thought to be a couple (as are any two foreigners together!) which we had fun playing up! Although he was only here for one year, it felt like I'd known him forever. I'm going to miss him!!

And to top it all off, David just left this morning.

There's so much that happened while David was here, and since I don't have much time now to write about it all I'll just post some pictures instead. http://www.flickr.com/photos/68681530@N00/sets/72157602574554560/
