Two.

So I guess the idea of blogging throughout the whole year backfired miserably. So here is my attempt to start again. Wish me luck as I try to entice you enough to keep up, and entice myself enough to keep going.

So since I skipped a year of blogging, forget about it. I adjusted better then I thought and turns out I'm not as much of a foreigner in my own country as I thought. Good news right? Yup, it is.

I'm guessing that my blog will be a bunch of lists, because I love lists, and truthfully, who doesn't?
So, list one:

Things I truly missed about Japan:

1. Umbrellas to not only protect yourself from the rain or snow, but the sun.

2. Incredible service behind every counter no matter how bad their day is going. Because in all truthfulness, the entire world doesn't need to know that your day sucked.

3. Trains. Need I say more.

4. The fact that the majority of Japanese drunks turn into happy little boys rather then creepy men.

5. No tipping. As much as I love congratulating my waiter on a job well done, sometimes my wallet doesn't.

6. I don't have to get sick of every song in the top 40 because it doesn't play in every store or in every car. Now I have only myself to blame for pushing "replay" on youtube too many times. (Those who have lived with me would have to agree)

7. The fact that every train arrives right on time, to the dot. If its 30 seconds late: somethings wrong.

8. Hearing Japanese. As much as I wish I understood everything in the Japanese language, it's fun to sit there and just listen to a language other then English.

9. The fact that eating seaweed and dried squid is accepted and not looked down upon. (Again, those who live with me would understand).

10. The Starbucks wiped cream. For some reason it tastes better in Japan.


Well, there is 10 for you to ponder on, and I can promise that the list will expand soon enough.

Cheers.
