Japan

Returning from watching Harry Potter (which was amazing, by the way)... a thought suddenly hit me while sitting on the train.

'I live in Japan.'

Yeah, I've been here for almost two and a half years, but that doesn't stop the thought from hitting me every now and then.

It just blows my mind sometimes... simply amazing!

I am part of Japanese life. I live it... I breathe it... I am it.

I wake up to the Japanese morning sun. I go to work at a Japanese elementary school. I interact and have varying relations with Japanese people. I speak the Japanese language (though not perfectly).

Life is good, and I stand here, grateful and feeling blessed to have been given this opportunity.

May I never take it for granted...
