I've been in Japan about 9 and a half months, and although I have beautiful friends, and a good life here, I think I've been hit with my first ever bout of homesickness!I'm so tired, and now the summer is starting, it is SO hot and humid, I don't wanna leave my air-conditioned room!!
OK enough complaining...
I was in AMU plaza last week and I found a shop that sells VEGEMITE!! I couldn't believe it, really, but the other thing they sell from Aus is........ 'Weis bars'!! Of course I bought one, and after living here so long, the taste of natural fruit in a product tastes so SO good.
I hadn't really noticed how artificial everything is here before, but now, I can really tell.
I miss fresh fruit and vegetables, and those products that have "no artificial anything" labels on them.
I miss milk that actually turns solid if you leave it in the fridge for 3 weeks.
I miss bread that goes hard after 2 days, and grows mold after 5.
I miss being surrounded by boys who don't shave their eyebrows or carry hand bags.
I really miss English!!
But I know that when I go home, there's so many things (mainly people) that I will miss so much from Japan.
Oops- I was going to stop complaining......
:(
