Happy One Year Anniversary... \o/

Congrats Japan... we've made it to one year without either of us getting the best of each other.

Sure, some of your customs and some of your mannerisms are a bit too much sometimes. And yes, I single-handedly am depleting your environment by not following the garbage rules... but, the important thing is that we both stand here today... one year later!

So, what shall I say?

Overall... you've been good... actually... better than good. So, I want to thank you for that. You've allowed me to do things that I would've never imagined me doing. Climbing your Mt. Fuji is pretty much on the top of this list. You've given me the opportunity to grow and actually finally become an adult. It was a scary thought at first... but, you've help me to realize that being an adult is not as bad as many think it'd be. All you need is a good social network to back you up... a decent job... and confidence in yourself... and all goes well.

So, thank you a lot Japan... for all the memories and experiences... for all the people I have met... and just for allowing me to live with you.

I can only hope we have more memories and experiences together... and that our relationship will continue to blossom.

Even though I'm not sure what my fate with you is in the upcoming months... I do at least know that you'll always have a special place in my heart. No matter what happens... you and I will always share a bond and I'm sure that nothing will break that and we'll have a lifetime relationship.

So, once again Japan... thank you with my whole heart... and Happy Anniversary!
