10 Things I won't miss about Japan


In the beginning of February my semester at Kyoto University officially finished. I don't know much about my results but don't worry about them either, it's all good. Then I had just a little bit of time and even less money left to travel around and such until last week, when it was time to really leave Japan. Boo, sad times ahead 'cause I've really grown to love the place and the people, and felt super comfortable and at ease and happy everywhere I went.
Now I'm in Southern California for about 6 weeks and it gives me time and space for reflection. And I've come to the conclusion there is a whole lot I will be missing about Japan, but there is also stuff I won't miss. I feel like a lot of people have put Japan on such a pedestal, so let's start today with the things I think that suck. The things that annoyed me. The things I might even hate by now. The things I definitely won't miss.
And then come back tomorrow for the good and positive stuff, alright?
