The End

Well, I'm afraid that my adventure has come to an end. I had a great time showing my family around Nagoya, Kyoto, and Tokyo, but the time went by too quickly! After 5 exciting months abroad I am back home and getting ready to start work in just a few days. I wish that everyone could have time to go to Japan and have the great experiences that I did, so I'll leave you with a list of some of my favorite experiences.

Things Everyone Should Do (at least once) in Japan:

• Fall asleep on the train and miss your stop
• Eat as much Japanese food that you can't get in America as possible
• Sit under Sakura trees in full bloom with lots of friends (and food!)
• See a Kabuki play
• Go to a conveyer belt sushi restaurant
• Miss your last train
• Surprise a Japanese person by speaking Japanese
• See a movie in Japanese
• Get pushed onto a train
• Play with stray cats in the park
• Ride a ferris wheel (easy to do because there are so many)
• Eavesdrop on people talking about you
• Go to The Hub (in at least two locations)
• All-night Karaoke
• Go to a baseball game
• Watch variety shows on TV

That about sums it up- I hope everyone had fun reading!
